When I take take time to dream (while I am awake, that kind), I like to dream of Tuscany. Why Tuscany, you say? Well, a few years ago I saw a movie called "Under the Tuscan Sun" and fell in love with it, as did millions of others. Ever since then, I have dreamed of eating my way through the Tuscany region of Italy. I have read every book I could find on this part of the world, and each description makes me want to go there more. On a recent trip to Boston, I walked into a cozy little travel bookstore in the freezing cold, and found this book with the most enticing cover that made me feel like I was there. It tells the story of Americans that move to Italy and buy a falling down, ancient friary, convert it to a house, and plant a vineyard. What a fun story that involves unimaginable labors of love. But it makes me feel as if I was there. Hopefully I will be someday! So I come back 20 pounds heavier, so what? The experience will be worth all of the extra exercise!
Name of book: "A Vineyard in Tuscany"
