Unscheduled - Livorno

Average Rating (4):
     

City
Livorno, Italy
Notes
There aren't many reasons for stopping in this coastal Tuscan city, other than my 1st visits during the early '60s. Hopefully, it won't be a reminder of the truism that you can never go back. Your memories of home or any other place you visit are tied to another time and the reality of aging has not been kind. Unmanaged expectations can be disheartening.
