Spit & Spat

Gettin' it Down

Ahhhhh...just mailed off 2 big boxes of loot back home. This makes my suitcase much roomier for traveling again tomorrow, up into Val Sesia, on into the mountains in Alagna. Plus, I found the PO closes at 18:00 (6PM), so I can still shop this aftenoon and mail off again today! Wooo! Bought a second pair of Italian boots because the first I bought are fantastic! So comfortable and complete my outfits with style not frump. The first were a light cream, the second a light Siena. Both soft, flexible leather. One an ankle boot, one a calf boot.

Now I'm having espresso near Ponte Vecchio, a bridge in Florence lined with goldsmiths and jewels. I'm headed into Piazza de' Pitti to see the Medici family jewels, porcelin, china, lavish apartments and living quarters. And a costume museum! Very excited!

Next year's trip is already being roughly planned out.

Travel is essential to my spirit...I didn't know how much so until I took the leap.

Plan your own journey. You learn so much about yourself as well as the culture of your destination and the customs of the travelers who also visit there.
