Today and tomorrow, we feature a little variation on the UnTourist of the Week theme. Jim Moore and Dawna Warren were featured on this blog earlier this year. (And can offer only these quite blurry photos of themselves. Their excuse? They say they are too busy appreciating where they are to get better photos of…
Woops, we were a little topsy-turvy this week. Our excerpts of Susan Umberger’s delightful account of her Venice-Tuscany UnTour Sampler came to you backwards, as she was in Venice (today’s entry) first, and Tuscany (last week’s entry)afterwards .

Excerpts from Susan Umberger’s: Easter in Tuscany April 2011. Susan has kindly offered to let us excerpt some of her Italian wanderings from 2011. If you like this, see more here. We made the long drive from Venice to Buonconvento not without a couple of incidents—getting lost in Florence (what a crazy city to drive in!)…
Tell us a little bit about your most recent UnTour and why you chose that particular destination? It was a delayed honeymoon for us. I love Switzerland and this was my 7th trip but the 1st for my husband, David. I really wanted to go while our legs and knees “worked!” Why did you choose…

Our last UnTour experience took us to Atrani on the Amalfi Coast for two weeks and then for another two weeks to Locarno, Switzerland to enjoy the beautiful Ticino Region.
