I am back from a wonderful three week trip to Europe with my hubby. We had a fabulous time exploring Amsterdam, plus Florence, Saint'Angelo in Vado & Bologna, Italy. It's great to be home but my goodness I miss the foods & beauty of Italy! Amsterdam was a blast as well. I saw so much amazing art along the way.
It all started because I wanted to take a class in Italy with artist
Nancy Medina. I had watched her postings when she did this trip last summer and it looked like a blast. It was. Organized by Piero Pagliardini
and Katherine Cohen of
Italiana tours (click this to see details of Nancy's 2018 workshop during TRUFFLE season) - the entire week was amazing. It was truly a case of #deathbyitalianfood - the worst meal we had was wonderful. Once our group arrive in Bologna we were whisked off to LeMarche and Saint'Angelo in Vado - a truly under appreciated region of Italy. We had a terrific schedule of painting classes, activities and trips to wonderful spots in the region. If you'd like to explore a truly unique Italy, contact Itlaiana tours!
Sigh. Where to next?

I am grateful for the many blessings of my life as it is today.
