Tuscany brings to mind visions of rolling hills with dappled light, patchwork fields, rows of Cypress trees, dramatic skies, Medeival towns perched on high crags, villages with windy, cobblestone streets, muted colors, and of course, wonderful food and wine. Truffles abound! Remember Under the Tuscan Sun? It really is like that!
In fact, when you join us, you will recognize some of the scenes in the movie by the same name.
We will be staying in southern Tuscany just outside of Cortona where Frances Mayes wrote her book. No wonder she fell in love with this part of the world!
And if there is enough interest (a minimum of six participants), we can do a four-day add-on, Sicily, Crossroads of the Med, based in the beautiful, historic, and vibrant Medeival town of Taormina on the northeast coast
of Sicily. Home to the famous Teatro
Greco and with views of Etna and and the dramatic coast, it is a good base for exploring this area. We will be visiting one of our favorite restaurants in the world where the food and wine is amazing and the experience with our host like nothing you have ever seen.
Margo and Arnie look forward to coming back to this area and showing you some of their favorite locations where you'll be able to celebrate your passion for photography, hone your seeing
and imaging skills, and learn about the magic of light to make wonderful photographs.
