Hilltop garden in Tuscany
As I had mentioned in my previous post, I’ve been able to travel a bit this summer and my absolute favorite trip this summer was to the beautiful country of Italy. I remember an eight-course meal in Florence, a wonderful market in the village of Poppi and a beautiful garden on a Tuscan hilltop.
There were nine total in our group, so a long table with friends around was easily provided. I’m already looking forward to next year! Below are some of my favorite snap shots from the trip.
A Campari & Soda at the Four Seasons, Florence
After a long train ride from Milan, a Campari & soda at the Four Seasons sounded too good to pass up.

Cocktail Hour on the rooftop in Florence
This was such a wonderful hotel in Florence and every evening cocktails on the rooftop made it even more amazing.

Food & Drink
Of course, the food and drink was amazing. My favorite restaurant was in a small village near Poppi. Once we found it we had to return every night.

The Long Table 
Lovely! I would love to be there with you sharing a long meal and espresso after. Thanks for sharing Shannon.
What a beautiful place. You captured the essence of Italy, Shannon!
Where to next? Spain, Basque Coast!!! Great memories-
