Here so many people complain about having to wear masks, but at least have more freedoms. Hopefully pandemic be over at some point because life does need to go forward.<br /><br />So nice to see a new blog post, Stevenson, and with a great new layout and blog title as well. This new look is very nice and it shows photos so well. Like so many others, I know that my own blog sorely needs an update. Glad your friend helped you with the new design.Beatrice P.

First of all thank you so so so much for the beautiful and engaging comments you gave on my Bucket list I am so overwhelemed with happiness while reading all of those and I have to say, I would be changing that Pizza Place into the one you said in Tuscany instead of Naples!!! I did have Pizza while I was in Rome it was not very spectacular to be honest, I dont know, I find the crust too thick and has a gummy texture. But the taste was good, though my teeth had a hard time enjoying it.<br /><br />Oh dear dear big sis I am so happy and thank you so so much!

Very clean. Is the Bucket List new? Or did I only find it now due to the new look?<br />Wow, again I don´t wanna sound like a certain someone, but you should maybe add a 52-b: <br />I had the very, most, yummiest Pizza at a little stand (looooong queue) in San Giminaldo/Tuscany. <br />One of my customers "complained", he was so disappointed when he took his husband to Italy and they had a pizza in a restaurant. Was made for "Tourist-taste", not really Italian. Those little stands are for Italians and there ... it was to die for! Just the basics but hmmmm....<br />#3... I could´ve gone inside. My then-boyfriend spent the LAST money on riding on a "stupid" camel. I regret this even today.<br />Wait for #4.5 and 6! YUM!<br />#13... be careful with boat there to, loads of people puked as the sea was rough, ewwww, LOL! One woman, cause the toilets were... puked into her hands (don´t as me why). #20 - go for it!! When you master #23... can I get an invitation? #31 sounds great! And 32!<br />Take care to tell us about # 39?<br />#42... "bleh"!!! LOL<br />#55... Ingo showed me - in my old hometown!<br />#58... sounds a tad dangerous? 59... at graduation. Not my thing (maybe I´m too simple, just hand me a slice of Pizza, LOL)<br /># 62... see my weird entry (Pizza always gets me!) - do! We took an education-ride of two weeks, it was wonderful!<br />#68, ohhh... you remember I count you as my Brother, right?! ��<br />Can´t stand heights but wish you fun enjoying it all, as the brrrr... cold places.<br /><br />Great idea with the bucket list!<br /><br />On to your entry of today!<br />Maccas, really?! You keep me laughing. And the clear coke. Tastes normal?<br />Oh, dear Brother, why do we keep posting pics of toilets?<br />The last shot is my fav.<br /><br />If I´m not like totally wrong you might´ve missed or at least mentioned another number for your bucket list to us or me, my post today is for you.<br /><br />Seesh. I should think about such a list, too. Do you know the wonderful, crazy <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bucket_List" rel="nofollow">movie with Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman</a> on this?Iris Flaviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11147576380055530230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7188477609790466104.post-46351643302204343692021-04-08T09:12:12.922+08:002021-04-08T09:12:12.922+08:00You were missed but I so understand how life gets ...You were missed but I so understand how life gets in the way.

That is much bigger than the one I had in my Kyoto hotel room. And oh I miss those wonderful Japanese toilets too. I am with you about visiting Kyoto. I am sorry to hear about your new lock downs. This virus is just not going anywhere, it is? It is really frustrating and scary too. You new blog is looking nice and clean. I like it. I hope life settles down a bit and that your lock down doesn't last too too long. Take care and stay safe.
