Early September in Elba

Elba, oh Elba, I am beginning to love you. Spent time today on the phone with Maurizio. He said he would be our personal guide to Elba, where we are traveling on Sept 9. I love planning ferry rides and rental cars in faraway places...we will be meeting his friend Roberta and her family, so we can get to know more about what life is like living in Elba.

Then we'll rent a scooter to do some more exploring. The island, he said, takes one and a half hours to cross. So a bigger place, with Caribbean style coves like this. We are going fishing and will set out to explore this famous island just off Tuscany's coast.
