TT #67

Thirteen Vacation Photos
Part 1: Italy

I've been meaning to do this for over a month now. Better late than never, right?

This was one of the best vacations ever--gorgeous weather, relaxing, and fun. Unfortunately, we were having too nice a time to take many pictures, but at least I found thirteen.

Gorgeous -- and you in a bikini?? Brave and gorgeous woman!! You go, girl!!

Can't wait to hear more about the vacation. (do you really read everything I posted between TTs? You deserve to call yourself my groupie, then!)

Beautiful pictures! We only stopped quickly in Pisa once in July : the thermometer marked 42ºC/ 107ºF , it was the summer of 2003 or whenever that very hot one it was!!

You look great in your bikini, wear it with pride!!!
I love your rainbow as well. Happy TT :)

Why didn't you wear a bikini for so long? You look good in it.
Oh, and how I wish I could be at a beach right now. As almost every day, really. ;) I really should move to some coastal place.
Looks like you had a great vacation.

Lovely pictures. We've been surfing web sites all day trying to decide whether to go to Florence for a week in November. (We love Italy, and haven't been to Florence in 16 years. The only hesitation is the weather.)

Beautiful photos. I've not yet had the chance to visit Italy.

Thanks for stopping by my TT. Don't be too scared off by my reviews. You and I might have different tastes in books. :D

Yes, two Julia's, one right after the other! I love 'The end of the Day', 'The Road to Pisa' and the 'Double Rainbow'. Thanks for taking me on a virtual trip!

Susan, absolutely! I loved the Oreos. ;)

Thanks all for the encouraging comments about the bikini--I felt very brave. I wish we'd taken more scenery pictures so I could share them, but I didn't think of it until we were driving back, and the pix taken from the car window didn't turn out so well. :(

Next time.
