What a great way to start the morning, followed by a cappuccino and croissant in the quaint Santa Maria piazza. I’m not a coffee drinker, but…when in Rome (or Florence). Robert, it was delicious!

I keep reminding myself to slow down, enjoy the sights, the sounds, the tastes. To breathe it all in deeply. The Italian lifestyle is something to be appreciated. We can learn a lot from how they do things here.

This afternoon, we’re headed to Siena and a wine tasting in Tuscany. I read that people have a definite favorite–Siena or Florence. Excited to check out Siena and drive through the gorgeous countryside.
