I?m leaving Italy tomorrow after a week of beautiful scenery and great weather and lucky me this was a great time to visit.
There was some additional paperwork and tests needed to get here and fly home but it went smoothly since I budgeted extra time for that. I came with two of my best travel mates and we had a great time. Of course I?ll share my experience on the blog soon!
Now it?s back to real life! I read it will rain this week so I?ll be catching up on work and making favorite homemade soups. :)
