When people asked me where I was going on holiday last Easter time, I always thought saying Italy, my country, was natural and innocent.
People are right here. Even if it is not an holiday, like going abroad, all-inclusive, full board, but yet in Italy, Tuscany, to be more accurate, it is in one of the most wanted holiday destinations on the planet.
That was a fortnight full of foodie wonders and classic Italian dishes.
From day 1 collecting bay leaves for my pickles, around my house,
through visiting the Fridays market in Colle Val d'Elsa,
through seeing old time friends, who could enjoy this view from their house, at Barberino Val'Elsa,
to the departure day, enjoying a special treat on the airplane, homemade Focaccia bread with Tuscan Prosciutto.
I feel lucky.
ps. soon a few posts about my stay
