HOLIDAY WITH TERRY SEPT '13

This somehow went in to draft and wasn't published so don't know if it will go in by date of writing and happening or now after I am already in Thailand.  If it is out of sequence please know that it was in September 2013.
ITALY

Terry flew in to Florence from Pa and it was so great to have her and share many of the lovely places I had visited in Tuscany, Umbria and the Marche.  I had booked us in to nice Agriturismos or B&Bs that produce their own wine and produce so the food was excellent.  We stayed 2 nights in each one and lazed one day and went to nearby sites of interest on the other.  We also visited many Cantinas to try all those lovely wines like Chianti Classico, Vino Nobile and the Monte Falco wines.
The time flew by but we tried to live every minute.  We went to Greve, Bolsena again and areas around Lake Trasimeno and just enjoyed the lovely landscape, the food, gelati and friendly people.  Here's a few photos of the trip.




always the best day - the arrival full of happiness and anticipation
