Quick post from Italy!

I was overly optimistic about posting daily about my trip, but did managed keep Facebook updated so my kids would be in the know (and comfortable their mom was safe!)  We have certainly helped the local economy of Tuscany - between 5 women, we bought 30 purses, 8 wallets, 2 belts, 2 leather coats, 9 scarves and various geegaws!

Then 2 couples head home, and 3 of us are off to Rome for 5 days of sightseeing and shopping!  I have found the location of the largest fabric store in Rome, and it's only a few blocks from one of the main piazzas.  I hope to pick up a few fabrics that will bring back memories of my trip!
