Gino having a refreshment on our apartment balcony in between excursions into the streets of the Eternal City. He looks very very happy, doesn’t he?!

“Feed your head.”
Following Melinda around Italy is thirsty work!
Notice how Gino always looks happy when a refreshment is placed before him? (He’s really just happy to be able to sit down for a few minutes!)

Not even in Cortona. My sly husband, Gino, trying to escape my proddings for more ploddings. My motto: let no cobbled alley go unexplored. (He knows there is no escape. He just hopes for a refreshment at the end of the journey!)
Never mind the 2 1/2 hour lunch we just inhaled in the previous town — the Tuscan hamlet of Vertine hints at the lunch that could have been.
Pristine clean, this idyllic walled village perched high in the Chianti hills is a perfect Medieval wonder. As you walk the streets and vicoli (small alleys) of this hamlet, it’s [...]

Gino has a fetish for knights in armor. (He also sometimes likes to think he is Zorro or James Bond.) This metal friend was found in San Gimignano as we wandered about.

Just outside the door of Abergo Doni, our favorite hotel in Venice, proprietor Gina has given the run of the daily business over to her children. She is still always around to greet you with a ready smile and a witty quip.
