flat olive under the tuscan sun

last weekend, olive joined me on a road trip to cortona, italy, where Under the Tuscan Sun was written and filmed...

olive was a fearless navigator.

 we wandered the tiny streets of the small, hillside town,

and got a little bit religious.

olive got kissed by the devil (at the lion's well - a pub in town),

and then things got a little crazy. i mean, she's dancing on the bar! 

then there were flaming lemon drops...

and MORE dancing on the bar! she is quite a handful.

and then she started flirting with marco....

and i had to take her home before he tried to.


the next day.......

we went to the grocery store

and got the most delicious sandwich that has ever been created. focaccia with fresh pesto, fresh mozzerella, sundried tomatoes and artichoke hearts. it was better than take it away, better than belair, better than riverside, better than any other sandwich place in cville (and that is a HUGELY bold statement for me to make). i mean, we ate 3 of them in one day. and bought 2 to bring back to trieste with us. 

and then we had gelato. hardly even worth mentioning when immediately following the sandwich.

olive's next adventures with lizbaar: amsterdam in 2 weeks! 

itb! liz
