in love with lucca

to my loyal reader(s)

i apologize for being out of touch for far too long - turns out that internet cafes can get quite expensive in tourist areas (imagine that), and when it comes to a choice between a cone of gelato and a half hour online, my sweet tooth cannot be denied.

right now i am in tuscany, and absolutely beautiful change from the southern coast. while the beaches were lovely, the countryside here is even more so. i'm resting my feet at an internet point before heading out for a full day of shopping, and the continuation of my quest for the perfect invicta backpack.

keep an eye out for a series of entries i'll start upon my return back to the states with the very original title 'what i learned on my trip to europe'.

also, i'll be leaving italy after 6 full weeks here this friday, and i'm sad to see it go -- but i'm sure that some of that delicious dublin guinness will be more than willing to raise my spirits!
