This is where I will be in a few weeks time. Lyn

Bagni di Lucca and its surrounds is one of my favorite areas in Tuscany. Here the terrain is full of impossibly picturesque hilltop towns, wild valleys and most importantly top quality local produce.

Thanks Ishita. Your posts look pretty fabulous. I will have many wonderful stories from Italy very soon
Grazie Mille. I love writing about my 12 day trip to Italy. It wasn’t enough though. I am waiting for your stories. Its so good to connect with you.
Gosh You write so well for only being there for 12 days. This will be my 8th trip and I will be there for 7 weeks
Thank you so much. I went in September 2013, fell in love with that country. I did about 4-5 cities but I think I fell in love with it so much, have been reading and connecting with people like you. Hope I can save more money for another trip. Ur so lucky to go for 7 weeks….!
It is amazing what you can do when you set your heart on it. You will find the money to return. I am impressed with your Grazie mille.
Where do you live
Thank you Lyn. It really is amazing. Little did I know that in my life I would visit Italy and find that my heart was there. I hope I do. I am from India :)
I know the feeling. I live in Australia.
Looking forward to your stories :)
If you want lots of information about Bagni di Lucca go to Bella Bagni di Lucca. I have lived here part time for 10 years and have visited all of the villages nestled in the Lima Valley and eaten at most of the restaurants…and written about them.
Yes thanks Debra. I do and I will go to your blogs. I really liked this post many months ago and asked Lisa if I could reblog it
I liked it too and also reblogged it. It was interesting to read the thoughts of a one time visitor to Bagni di Lucca.
Hi Debra Yes, I liked it at the time and thought it was a great “snapshot” to send to my friends Soon they will be my “snapshots” Lyn
