Fly Away Cafe - Where travel is a way of life

I’ll Soon be Under the Tuscan Sun

by Mary Jo Manzanares on March 29th, 2008

After a few days in Rome, I’m off to Tuscany where I’ll be staying at a farmhouse located on a vineyard and olive orchard.  A little agri-tourism, and a relaxing environment, that will serve as a perfect spot for day trips into the charming little towns in the area.

Maybe I’ll fall in love with the countryside like Diane Lane did in Under the Tuscan Sun.

 

 

Picture me sitting at a local cafe, enjoying some wonderful food and sipping a hearty red wine!

    Dear Mary Jo! You lucky (x100n) thing! I read the book, fell in love with the movie, have my own copy, pester-badgered my friends to ’sit and down and see THIS’ and have an impossible craving for black olive bread and grapes at midnight! But most of all, it is the LadyBug Philosophy that I remember best from the movie -
    I know it has helped me during my House Hunt, THE MOVE FROM HELL, and now the ongoing House Renos!

    Blessings on your Journey and as the Irish Say:

    Oh, I wish I’d checked in on you sooner! I have a good friend that lives in Maremma - if you’re going to be in the area, I’d love to e-introduce you. Drop me a line.

    Having now spent my first night here, I am even more in love with it than when I first arrived. Had a great dinner and wine last night in Pienza == what a charming and quaint town.

    Not sure what’s on the schedule for today, but am also just enjoying a relaxing day here at the farmhouse where Iàm staying.
