I love Italy, but haven’t been back in years unfortunately. I’m enjoying reading about places I need to visit on my next trip! I love Assisi so much. I ate the best lasagna ever there. I’ve driven around Umbria a fair amount and love all the little towns there. Thanks for sharing your trip!
We had a great lunch in Assisi, and loved the region of Umbria. We would love to go back and drive around Tuscany, Umbria, and maybe even venture into Marche.
Thanks for the comment, Jen. Hope you're doing well!
What a trip of a lifetime! Incredible scenery and LOTS of walking! It looks amazing!! I love the pictures!! Did you have an absolute favorite place? Is there a place you’d want to live? I’m so glad you enjoyed your time! Where is your next adventure ?
See you in the grocery store and Merry Christmas!! 🌲🌲🎁🎁
Thanks, Myra! We had a few favorite places for different reasons: Montalcino for the wine, Bologna for the walkability without the crowds, Tuscany for the scenery. I could go on and on. It would be difficult to pick a favorite place for food, because we had amazing (and inexpensive) food everywhere. We definitely have places we want to return to and explore further. As far as living, we would like to explore some of the smaller villages in Tuscany or Umbria. I would want to own a place that's accessible by public transportation.
And yes!!! See you in the grocery store! ha! I got so carried away with dreams of living in Italy on my first comment that I forgot to tell you Merry Christmas! Hope you and your family have a wonderful one!
Heather- I really liked that you emphasized how there are parts that you loved (and didn’t love) about Venice. It’s one of those mystical places that many people assume is all just the beautiful parts. Which of course they are beautiful. But what I appreciate is your frank ability to also capture the realities.
