Aw, I was just gonna start one for Florence! (A for Arno, B for Barghello...) But Tuscany should be easier.

First, G HAS to be for GELATO!

I is tough -- Italy? Informazione?

Betsy

Marilyn, you think "I" is tough? What about "J" for Pete's sake?? I don't think there's even a "J" in the Italian alphabet.

How about Jesolo - I had a good time at Lido di Jesolo while visiting Venice!

Marilyn

I know, Betsy! I was so stumped by J I went and looked in the index of my Tuscany guidebooks -- not much!

How about J for Jesuits?

Patrick

Well, every time I get to go to Tuscany, I Jump up and down for joy.
My Jealousy of those there overwhelms me.
I Jay walk all over the cities.
When I do some of those steep hikes my knees turn to Jelly, maybe I should Just take one of those Jiggling old busses instead.
Maybe I'll rent a Junior Suite in a nice hotel in the city.
January is probably the worst month to go to Tuscany. But June is beautiful, and July is hot, but nice.
Next time I go, I think I'll pick up a big Jar of olives, after listening to one of those little Jazz groups in Siena.

Sorry I've been such a Jerk with this one.

K is for Katarina-the Sienese woman who told us to eat at Il Toro in Siena-It was wonderful despite the brusk service!

L for Lucca- the walled city. I named my cat after this lovely place

VictoriaK

L is for Lucca, yet another place we're trying to fit into our already-crowded itinerary.

M: Montepulciano...the first, but not the last by a long shot, that we got our rental car stuck between buildings. Thank goodness for the car insurance!

Betsy

Thanks, folks! Just after hitting the post button, I remembered we'd stayed at the hotel Jolanda in Santa Margherita. Checked my Italian 101 textbook, which indicates "there are 21 letters in the Italian alphabet," and words having the letters j, k, w, x, y "appear in words of foreign origin."

M is easy: Montepulciano, Montalcino, mezzoluna, miele, melone.

and Monterrigioni and Massa Maritima.
