Spring Fashion We were spending a sunny afternoon walking the narrow back streets of the ancient Oltrarno neighborhood on the other side of the Arno River from downtown. We had already passed the massive Pitti Palace and were heading towards the Santo Spirito church and square.

In July of 2011, we made the decision to leave our comfortable jobs in Northern California to see the world. We weren’t sure where we were going to go or how long we would be gone, but we wanted an adventure and we knew we could find it if we looked carefully enough. We would travel slowly, staying in cities and towns for longer periods than most tourists have time for. Hopefully, it would give us an opportunity to observe local life in a unique way.

High heels on cobblestones a cacophony of Easter fireworks and bells, and an eerie, modern connection to history--fine adventures and fabulous photos! Great that you made weekday, day trips to the smaller, ultra-charming smaller towns.

And then there will be the question of where to hide during high season--best wishes with that!

Italy is without a doubt one of the best places and now that the weather is so much warmer and the flowers and trees are blooming we really hate to leave. We never like to tell where we are going next but we do admit you are a fabulous guesser :) Thanks for always reading and leaving such nice comments!
