Hello! So happy it’s the weekend, looking forward to seeing friends, and having some downtime to spend outdoors. Summer is back and we are due to hit almost 90 degrees tomorrow, no complaints from me although I would like to request zero humidity:)<\/p>\n

Sit back because you are in for a virtual treat, let’s turn back the clock and head to Tuscany! Is it possible to be in love with a place you have never been? Amazing that with the trips I have taken to Italy we have not made it to Tuscany, that will be changing in the next year, you can bet your olive tree on that one.<\/p>\n

A trip to Tuscany is at the top of our list and because my son wants to go as well we are waiting until we can find a window that works for all of us. We are now aiming for\u00a0 next May when he graduates from college (cannot believe my baby is graduating)!! So in the meantime, this virtual getaway will have to suffice. So sit back and enjoy….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Love the way the cypress trees line the roads<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I envision lots of casual al fresco lunches at little cafes like this before I head home for my afternoon siesta:)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And there are miles and miles of sunflowers…glorious!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Olives anyone?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

How neat to visit their famous hot springs!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With views like these, I might never ever leave<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

LOVE an open market, nothing better!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I imagine lots of al fresco dinners like the above<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I think of Tuscany when I see lemons<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

How many ways can you say yum!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To anyone who wants to second guess using marble…..I rest my case (above)!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I could easily call this place home!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Has a pizzeria ever looked so charming? I think not..<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I dream of this at every meal:)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And when we go I will stay in Borgo Santa Pietro, just take a look at why…<\/p>\n

Ready to jump on a plane for the next flight to Italy? Meet you at the airport!! Something about it really draws me there and even more as I am getting older, to me it feels like a place where time stands still or at least really slows down, and things aren’t in perpetual motion 24\/7.<\/p>\n

Days must feel lazier and I crave that in these times where life can feel like its always in fast forward. I imagine people taking the time to really enjoy lunch and letting the lunch hour linger to an espresso and maybe even into a glass of wine…without wolfing something down heading for your next appt. Guilty as charged at least most of the time:)<\/p>\n

OK your turn, have you been? Want to go? If you have been, would love to know what your top recommendations are, what to do, places to see, where to go, etc…..Thanks for stopping in. Wishing you a fabulous day! Until next time….<\/p>\n
