We were there!!! You should have said hello. It was a great trip and our guides, Tina & Mara, were terrific. HOT was putting it mildly! The humidity was so high, good thing we brought enough clothes for each day because we definitely needed them. And the a/c is not quite as strong in Italy as in the US so when you got back to your room, it only felt cool for a short time! Hope you enjoyed your trip - did you go on your own or with another group?
