    Hello,

    you've been just a few steps from where I'm living, Grosseto! The
    medieval town was Monteriggioni?

    Beautiful places, hoping you've enjoyed the trip.

    Small world! It was San Gimignano. Beautiful town, and we did a
    pasta-making course at an inn nearby.

    We may end up cashing out our wildly overpriced real estate in
    California and retiring somewhere out there in 10 years or so.

    5 days in Rome near the Trevi fountain, tours of the dome of St. Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museum, walking tours of the city center, then 4
    days in Florence, running out to a gondola ride and tour of Venice,
    walking tours of Cinque Terra, Siena, and a tour of a medieval town,
    ending with a pasta making class in an inn outside of San Gimignano.

    I only have a 1.5 MB QWK packet to sort through now...

    Nice, sounds like a great itinerary and fun.

    I'm going to Florence in October for a wedding, and plan to hit Rome,
    London, and Normandy, France afterwards for a few days each.

    Not too bad.

    That sounds like a good trip. I wouldn't mind visiting Italy.

    Oh wow, I just noted this message only now!
    I hope you had an amazing time in Italy!

    5 days in Rome near the Trevi fountain, tours of the dome of St. Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museum, walking tours of the city center, then 4 days in Florence, running out to a gondola ride and tour of Venice, walking tours of Cinque Terra, Siena, and a tour of a medieval town, ending with a pasta making class in an inn outside of San Gimignano.

    I hope that you didn't mind the hot weather in Rome!

    Also, if you would like to come back to Italy next year eventually, you should consider visiting also the Amalfi Coast, Sorrento, the Apulia and Sicily!

    It wasn't that bad, and I'm used to cool, foggy California coastal
    weather.

    Our kids hadn't traveled much, so we wanted to give them a taste and
    inspire them to come back and see more - or go back to again.

    Check also the North of Italy :-)

    Mantua is a little city but very Medieval :-)

    Apart on Summer that It seems to be in Africa :-(
