TUSCANY – A Traveler’s delight!
You can’t help having a great time traveling around in Italy. But for me, the Jewel of Italy is TUSCANY!!!
The rolling hills (especially in Spring and Fall when everything is green); old churches full of history; The Duomo in Siena (and more Siena…); the food (it’s not just pasta); the wine (Oh for a glass of Brunelli!); the blue-green geothermal springs; fat Porcini mushrooms as large as your forearm; huge red, yellow and green sweet peppers, their shiny skins looking as if they were scrubbed clean; standing on the top of Monte Amiata (like you’re on top of the world); and did I mention the cheeses? I could go on and on!
Tuscany is perfect for a Solo traveler! Drive around the small towns and villages, explore the olive groves and vineyards, eat at any of the Trattorias and of course, have a glass (or two) of the “house wine”. And… don’t forget your camera, you won’t want to miss those views!
You don’t need to speak Italian, everyone will stretch their arms out to welcome you and make you feel at home.
Let me take you on a journey through Tuscany– and if you do go, I guarantee you won’t want to leave.
Follow my feet through Tuscany
Yes — follow me over the next few days and share the fun in discovering the little towns “off the beaten track”, the wines, chatting with the townsfolk early morning at the coffee shop, buying fresh vegetables for dinner later, sampling the cheeses at the cheese shop… and so much more!
And, if I’ve done my job right, you’ll want to join me in September on a: Cooking Tour with OliveJoy (it’s not just food)!!!
