So most of my summer of 06 was spent in France and Italy.. I just couldn't leave my job and not run home for a culture and culinary refill.. From the Paris night life and late night merguez to the most delicious pesto in Radda in Cianti, all was good. The trip to northern Italy was a reminder in how to enjoy life to the fullest. Incredible sights from Como to Bellagio, to the surreal city of Venice it only got better as friends met up for a birthday weekend in Florence and drive through Tuscany to the beautiful medieval city of Siena which comes alive for one of the world's most breathtaking folk festivals, Il Palio. Unfortunately we missed it by 48 hours.. Pisa wasn't all that but the fortified city of Luca is. the trip was not complete before a short stop in North Africa on the Island of Djerba Tunisia..
