I must say, I am certainly having a much more exciting time then I did over the last thirteen years. It looks like I have an opportunity to go to Italy in May specifcally Tuscany area including Florence and Sienna. I will get to stay in a 800 year old castle and visit the vineyards and olive groves. I will get to shop in small villages and see the art of DaVinci and all the other great painters all in eleven glorius days and $2,600.00. How can I pass that up and it is related to my passion about herbs and herb medicine. I am also now studying to be a herbalist. How exciting is that.
