I arrived in Europe early this morning to begin 100+ days of leading tours and researching new destinations. I hope you’ll follow my adventures in Europe! I’ll be posting on Facebook, and blogging here on my website, everyday for at least the next 100 days and I hope you’ll follow along and participate in my adventures.

We are packed with our tours from now until August. Many tour departures are already filled with the maximum number of travelers (12-18 depending on the tour). Sitting here in Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport, I can tell by the hurried rush of people, that travel is not slowing down in Europe. My flight last night was completely full from Atlanta to Amsterdam. I am heading down to central Italy to do a little research in a new region, Le Marche, and leading a small group of four on an adventure around Tuscany.
My flight from Amsterdam to Florence was uneventful and I even got in about an hour of sitting sleep! At the Florence airport, I picked up my Fiat 500, with a tiny trunk and no leg room, and drove five hours south through Tuscany and Umbria and ended up in the middle of nowhere at Agriturismo Ramusè.
I find that the “middle-of-nowhere” is often the best place to be. This is my view of the local hill town and the cat (il gatto) at 8:30 p.m. Ciao for today!
