The final long weekend of the summer is over, now to get ready for our fall vacation.  First thing to do is decide what clothes to take. I think I need to go shopping for a pair of black pants and some walking shoes.

  1. It will probably be similar to our weather in Tuscany but the further north we get, the colder it will get.....may be rainy and mid-teens in Paris...or may be warm. We have to be prepared. Layering is the key without a lot of weight to carry.....
