Staying in the city with friends. Learning their life and likes -- turned my phone off for the first 6 days. It’s been delightful-- but I wouldn’t want to stay out in the country.

I totally understand and get it! I did the same thing in 2011 when I visited the first time.

I fondly remember my Tom and I walking those gardens on a rather warm day and the scent of all those bay trees, rosemary and more. We got to the top, sweaty, breathing hard and there was a small cafe perched to one side. we went over to have a glass of water and had our first Affogato, the simplest of desserts, rich gelato dropped into a shot of espresso. Simply devine.
