While reading your story, I had to constantly return to the date of your story. I kept thinking to myself, is this the 1950’s, 1960’s, no this is 2012!?!?! It is sorrowful to know that while things have changed, some peoples way of thinking have remained the same. Even as I read this more than a year after your posting, I know this to be true. I’ve always wanted to visit Tuscany (no, this will not deter me, LOL). Your depiction of a day in time there, just made me remember that there is “sweet and sour” in this world. Just because one has landed in the beautiful land of Tuscany doesn’t mean that there are some that can ruin the vision of that beautiful land. I truly thank you for posting your experiences in Tuscany. I hope more people can read these events and comment.<br /><br />JoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7911448537861141728.post-3853237647235882462012-02-22T10:52:58.995-08:002012-02-22T10:52:58.995-08:00Hey dad!
