- Travel in June--Italy 六月之旅——意大利篇
The main destination of this vacation was the Cote d'Azur in France, but it was a bit far to drive on one day, particularly with a baby.
我们此行的主要目的地是法国的“蓝色海岸”,但要是自驾车一天内到达,实在有些远,尤其是我们还带着宝宝。

Maybe it's the heat, or maybe we're just becoming jaded, walking by the Cathedral and other gorgeous sights every day on our way to school, but we really didn't feel like doing anything today. The lazy afternoon was spent strolling Posted by anya84 in TUSC[ANYa] | Aug 21, 2009

After three intense days of dutiful sightseeing, I decided it was time to take a little break and travel a short distance outside of Florence... to a winery of course! Some classmates and I took a bus to the local, Posted by anya84 in TUSC[ANYa] | Aug 20, 2009

Unfazed by today's ridiculously hot weather, I managed to make the day my most productive and eventful day yet! Two museums, a gelateria, a pizzeria, shopping, cooking, and a birthday dinner party made up today's excitement. The exploration began at Posted by anya84 in TUSC[ANYa] | Aug 19, 2009
