The Armchair Traveler Goes to Tuscany


Can you tell the travel bug is biting me hard lately? It doesn't help that I'm looking at my photos and wishing for an adventure.
It's sad that all these never-before-seen photos are trapped in my computer!
Today, I release them! I hope you enjoy....

Florence.
There just never is enough time there. So many nooks and crannies to explore!







The Tuscan Countryside.
Absolutely breathtaking!








The Churches.
My inner Catholic comes out big-time in Italy!




The Food.
I don't need to tell you how fantastic the food is!






The Wine.
Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino--it's all good!




Next, The "Armchair Traveler" goes to Provence!

    Delores, I'll travel along with you anywhere. Thanks for releasing these amazing photos. I'm just home from France and need to get my photos edited and out of the computer. It all takes so much time.
    I look forward to traveling to Provence with you soon.....Sarah

    Each one takes me to that spot if only briefly.
    Greve is where I do plan to go...one day.

    Delores,
    I've never been to Italy so this was truly a treat for me. Most of my friends have been but fail to show their pictures. This is wonderful.
    Thank you,
    Karen
