The sign propped up in the meringues made us laugh - its says "brutti ma buoni" which means ugly but tasty!

Tuscany is also one of my very-favorite destinations; not surprising that 'Under the Tuscan Sun' is also a fave film of mine:) Katie, everyone middle-aged who travels abroad is constantly on the lookout for an acceptable restroom...before we decide on a café/restaurant I ALWAYS check-out the facilities:) One bathroom in Lisbon was flooded with a quarter-inch of water...they were so surprised that we opted not to dine there;) Anyway, loved the pix...I'm going to put that cute little-town on the itinerary for our trip to Italy (Sienna is also supposed to be gorgeous).

I remember being so frightened on a bus whose driver was going entirely too fast on a two lane road along the sea between Nice and the Italian border. I don't remember the guard rails, but knew that if that bus jumped track I would die in the Mediterranean Sea. I thought that if I lived through that bus ride I would be thankful for the rest of my life! I am. <br /><br />Your photos are great...as well as the selfie!

Everything on the menu sounded delicious, what a wonderful trip. Not sure if this will help, but I used to be part of an after school ski club and took 100 kids skiing twice a week, many would get bus sick (ick) I heard that gum chewing helped so I began passing it out. For the most part it did the trick.Beemiehttp://www.amilkmansdaughter.comnoreply@blogger.com
