I'm just going over to join here in a little village somewhere near Aulla where she's staying with a family she once au paired for. We don't have any real concrete plans other than going on a long walk to some mountain or other. I'm only over for a week and we'll be in a pretty rural area, so I don't think we'll be "seeing" much.

That sounds fun nonetheless. I've never been to Italy. The food sounds like it's worth visiting alone.

I've been to Italy several times and it is worth visiting for the food alone.

OOH. Do tell. What were your favorite dishes?

Forever ago, I found a site listing the world's best tiramisu, and I remember that a tiny little place in Sicily was given the highest rating. I've been wanting to try that out.

I tried to do this when I was in Tuscany and I ended up in some rich person's driveway because it turns out Italy doesn't have any public space left. But the views from the rich houses are really nice.

Yeah, there's a private castle up there, but apparently the views are really nice and both of us just really enjoy long walks (it's about 15k each way).

That's a long day's walk. Sounds like a lovely potential picnic.
