It was their first trip, too. Italy was the first stop and I was totally taken by the History, which was my major in college. Next we went to the French Riviera and then on to Paris. I totally missed Italy and probably didn’t fully appreciate Paris. Then, it was on to London. You know, the grand tour in 6 weeks. Then by ship back to New York.
Gerry and I decided to go to France and nowhere else on our first trip. Spent 2 weeks in Provence and Lyon and then on to Paris. I was 25 and Paris was wonderful. Maybe being with him was different. You think? Been back so many times, I’ve lost count. Rented several apartments. In between we spent 3 years in New York and another 3 in Singapore. Gerry was an international banker and we were hoping for the Paris posting. Didn’t happen.
Anyway that sums it up. We both feel very at home in Paris. I speak enough French to get along pretty well.

Hi Barbara,

Thank you! I am so happy that you have enjoyed my recommendations! The restaurant in Capri is lovely and the food is amazing. I hope you get the chance to visit Le Sireneuse and Capri soon. xo

Part of Italy I have never been. La Sireneuse is so on my list. I agree that you can always eat lunch at someplace expensive. How I have been to Hotel du Cap twice. Because of you, I have been following your friend’s restaurant in Capri. His pictures are beautiful and the food …… just wow!

Hi Annie,

I am so happy you agree about the Italy cappuccinos! My sister makes coffee on the stove with a Moka pot and she loves it! I hope you get back to Italy and France ASAP!

Thank you, Tanya! I can’t believe the price of cappuccinos in Italy too. Paris prices are 4x and not as good. I hope you are back in Italy ASAP!

Italy is one of my favourite countries and I can’t wait to go back. As a lover of cappuccinos, I completely agree that nothing beats sipping on one (hot or cold) in Italy!

I remember falling in love with them during my first trip to Florence and when I came home I spent weeks hunting for something similar close to home. Missing Italy (and France) right now!
