Challenges

A good friend suggested I ask each of you to give me a challenge... something that will push me to step out of my comfort zone and try something different. I laughed when he said it, because my first thought was "oh God, you don't know my friends.... I don't want to sell my body in the Red Light District!" I've decided it's an excellent idea, and I hope that each of you will take a few minutes to think of something that you wish for me to do. If it's not PG, don't post it... send it to me in an email instead :) All challenges welcome.

A Gastronomic Tour of Tuscany

...of my own personal invention.

I am in Lucca for 2 days, headed today for a day trip to Florence.  Lucca is stunning, a medival town surrounded by a 12ft stone wall.  It feels very geninue here, the people slightly annoyed by tourists but still kind enough as long as you don't bucher their language (As I do).  I like that... that tourists are not catered to (or taken advantage of).  I'm staying in a stunning hostel which was converted from an old nunnery.  Their are gorgeous high ceilings, huge rooms with couches to lounge in.  I feel very comfortable here. 

Florence is a short ride away by fast train, so I will explore the city everyone tells me I need to visit for a day knowing I come home to my quiet Lucca tonight.  Tomorrow it's off to Rome before the rail strike for 2 days of busy busy picture and tour taking. 

Hope all is well at home...

ps-  as for my title... I don't think there's anything else to say.  The food.... oh, the food....
