ROFFistanians,


Nice TR snipped...

My bride is reading a book on travels to Italy. Based on your TR, I'll
encourage her to continue looking into a vacation to the area.


I'd highly recommend it. Tuscany and the bits of Umbria that we
saw were beautiful, the people were very friendly, the weather was
perfect and the food and wine were outstanding. We stayed in the
valley below the hill town of Cortona, which some of you might
recognize if your wife dragged you to see "Under The Tuscan Sun". :-)

Beautiful. Only fishing I saw in Tuscany and Umbria was some bass fisherman
on Lake Trasimeno. Historic lake, with a great fishing museum, but one ugly
lake. Shallow, muddy water. Museum has bronze fish hooks and rock weights
that the Romans used.
