Non è possibile per me cosi.
Vacation time is upon us. Marty was off work yesterday for Ascension (known by at least one Swede of my acquaintance as "Christ Aviator") so we headed down to the Tegernsee and did some hiking around there. It was beautiful weather and perfect for hiking. We walked for about four or five hours, with lunch at a Hütte along the way.
A few pictures from yesterday's outing:

Today there is lots to get done before we leave for Italy tomorrow. This trip has been put off for a year -- it was supposed to happen in 2003, but an Italian train strike foiled our plans, and we went to Berlin instead. So this time, we're flying!
We'll spend some time in Tuscany visiting Florence, Pisa, Siena and Fiesole. We will also spend a day touring the Chianti region and tasting wine. I've made all our hotel arrangements and have been reading guidebooks to get ready. Marty has been listening to Michel Thomas's Italian CDs in the car to learn some basic phrases. Today we have to finish up some last-minute errands and pack. Tomorrow, Italy! I can't wait! I haven't been to Italy since 1984, when I was 15 years old!
Ziggy will be in good hands here with his usual catsitter. He is enjoying a reprieve from the thyroid medicine while we go on vacation, since he had a lot of side effects with the first one we tried, and will start on a different treatment after we get back.
So there will be a brief pause here at Raspberry World for vacation, and then I'll return with pictures and stories from Italy. In the meantime, you may want to visit a couple of other sites I've been enjoying recently:

- Some gorgeous lilac pictures were posted at ever so humble. I know that at least a few of my readers will enjoy them.
- Julie (formerly of Jul of the Day) is back online with some beautiful pendants that she's created and a new weblog. I'm glad she's back!
- Alexandra Huddleston just finished a graduate degree at Columbia University in photography, and I have been enjoying her pictures and her thoughts on photography. Check out her online portfolio as well.
