Rome was our last visit during a month's tour of France and Italy. What a fitting end to four weeks filled with culture, history, architecture, and wonderful people. The great foods and wines of France and Italy were thoroughly enjoyed which will result in much needed dieting. Every sip and morsel was worth it. At the end of the day, all we'll have are memories of life adventures ... and our precious relationships with loved ones.
I can't fully explain how much we were impacted by people we met along the way. I could tell you stories about Yvonne who helped at the villa in Tuscany, or the sweet neighbors that nodded and greeted us in Italian while out on our daily walks. How about Roberto who drove us around Rome bragging that he had been an outstanding driver for 35 years, then accidentally ran into a motorbike sending the man flying? We enjoyed 2 1/2 weeks of the trip with Valerie and Mike Thompson who proved to be great traveling companions sharing much of our interests in wine, food, and people. Sandy and Terry Bartow joined us for the week in Tuscany surprising us with their culinary expertise by creating marvelous lunches and dinners (all with local ingredients) at the villa. Spending time with new and old friends brought richness to our travels.
Most importantly, sharing this adventures with my soul mate, Stephen, was the best of all! We have been lucky to share so much of life together. The sharing part is what colors the experience. Do you have plans to share some life adventure with loved ones? It not, why not plan something special.
