Dear Micha: I even feel tempted to visit San Diego

after your wonderful description about your morning visits near the sea, eating at your favorite restaurants, and all the other wonderful details that allow me to share your visit!

I have never heard of UNTOURS. But I am copying your post, not only for the beautiful content but also for the valuable advice. No, the tours do not go out from Puerto Rico. But I can select either Miami or NewYork to take the tour from either of these cities.

I had read a lot about ETRUSCANS & their impact in Italian civilization. The ETRUSCANS were the first civilization living in Tuscany & there are multiple inherited traits in architecture, character, look of the people, & even in food, that are attributted to their ETRUSCAN ancestors. The Etruscans were so independent & brave. Even their language is the only language worldwide that had not been deciphered yet. The anthropologists & scientists say that there is not a certain assumption as to from where they originally came to Tuscany.

One of the things that I like best of this civilization is that they were sybarites. Their
way of living was mainly to experiment all kinds of pleasant things, sometimes in excesses. They were artists & their sculptures & other beautiful Amphoras, etc... are still shown in their museums. There is no example of their music because they wrote in animal skins or papyrus, not in stone.

Well I apologize for this small unsolicited lecture. I hope that you will have the chance to read on the ETRUSCANS. Then, when you arrive in Tuscany, you will feel specially at home.

I greatly appreciate your advice & information & I will enter the site of Untours in order to obtain further information regarding language & the possibility of a lady traveling alone to such a faraway destiny. Thanks dear friend & I hope that you will enjoy your trip.

Your friend,

Gladys/PR
