This is about the time I start thinking of “getting away” from it all and my mind drifts to thoughts of beautiful Italy and the fabulous time my husband and I had there. My mouth starts to water for the yummy authentic pizza and the incredible espresso’s and gelato’s! The setting is picturesque indeed with the warm sunshine, lemon trees, azure waters, Ferrari’s and Lamborghinis and the warm jovial people. We plan to return, maybe this summer, fall or even winter and this time I will be on the hunt for new adventure as I wander the many flea markets and antiques fairs I just discovered. Just thinking of the possible treasures that wait are almost too exciting to withstand I mean, this is Italy – the land of art and beauty and surely there must be treasure waiting as Italy is ancient and has been standing the test of time. I will keep you all posted on what may happen with this trip I just have to take! I will most certainly share with you the adventure in photos and video. Will it be Como, Lombardy, Venice or Milan? Stay tuned! Here are some fabulous flea markets in the Como, Lombardy, Milan area. More here.
