Sicily and Bette Davis

It occurred to me that traveling to various parts of  Italy can remind one of vintage Hollywood actresses.

Tuscany in all its beauty resembles Lauren Bacall.  Cool, beautiful, well dressed, many facets and movie set perfect.  Bone structure--it is all about the bones.

Capri resembles Audrey Hepburn.  Gorgeous beyond words, fun loving, classy, ever present scarf and sunglasses.  Timeless, always sunshine.  Monied.  Ageless.

Sicily?  Now that is Bette Davis.  Never a facelift, outspoken, and  in your face.  Great beauty and quirky. Think designer clothes, but with a run in her stocking.  Wrinkled face, classic, but with a cigarette hanging from her lips.  Wearing St. John's knits--but the hem is falling and a bit of slip is showing.

Seeing parts of Sicily for a week with Pam Mercer and Sam Hilt was a real treat for Dear One and me.  www.tuscanytours.com  "Fasten your seat belts, it's going to be a bumpy night."  Just the way we like to travel.  But traveling with Pam and Sam gives you the great ride-- but without any of the bumps.
