The details, the underbelly, the juicy details of my 10 days, boots on ground, trip to Italy.

Cartolina #10 Piazza Gaetane Cartolina #9 Waiting for David My, how crazy some cats are (not mentioning names here) with the things they try to bring back into the country.

“Siena Ristorante” Cartolina #2 One trip to the winery for lunch, one 30 mile hairpin curved drive to Siena, a walk in the rain and lasagna with homemade noodles for dinner.
