I think we have the route!
Here goes ~
June 2 to 6 – Rome
June 7 to 11 – South to Naples (with a day trip detour to Pompeii and Herculaneum)
June 12 to 14 – Across the water to Capri (a small island just off the Naples coast)
June 15 to 18 – North to Florence (and we’ll take a day trip to Pisa as well I think)
June 19 to 21 – East to Venice
June 22 – Head home…
Instead of not doing anything for the next month, I may have booked my flights for next summer….
Here’s the details:
June 2 – Vancouver > Toronto > Rome (arriving early AM of the 3rd)
June 22 – Venice > Frankfurt > Vancouver
Now I can start thinking about how (and where) to fill the days in-between. And I’m really going to try to wait for September to do that – really, honestly, I promise…
I’m back!
Ten months to go until the Italian Summer.
This will be it until September. Stay tuned…
The words that inspired me, and that will inspire the year to come ~
The rose stood out
Red against the golden wall
The sun comes up through the silken drapes
The room begins to glow
All in cream-colored ivories and soft yellows
You say hello
Put down that guitar and handed me a rose
At the end of the Italian Summer
It rains fast and it rains hard
The wind blows through you
It tears you apart
Ooh it’s so romantic
Hey it’s so soulful
The rain falls down
And the thunder rolls
The sun fades out
And the mountains grow tall
The mists rush in and they take it all
From the islands you see Li Galli and Capri
I remember it all
Love was everywhere
You just had to fall
At the end of the Italian Summer
It rains fast and it rains hard
The wind blows through you
It tears you apart
Ooh it’s so romantic
Hey it’s so soulful
The rain falls down
And the thunder rolls
The sun fades out
And the mountains grow tall
The mists rush in and they take it all
From the islands you see Li Galli and Capri
I remember it all
Love was everywhere
You just had to fall
