For this "Oh, the Places We Go!" column, residents may submit high-quality digital photos to FourSeasonsNews@yahoo.com. While not
required, we would love to see a copy of the Breeze featured with you in the photo of your escapades. It will be fun to see how far and to what
exotic places the magazine travels. Please be sure to include information to explain your photos, especially the who, what, when, and where.

Places
anksgiving in
Tuscany, a trip to
remember shared by
11 residents in our
Four Seasons. A
staycation centered
in Montecatini,
Italy. We visited
the cities of
Pisa, Lucca, San
Gimignano, Siena,
and Florence. We
took a cooking class,
visited wineries,
and a cheese farm.
Needless to say there
was lots of shopping,
eating, and wine
involved. L-R:
