Eat, Play, Laugh!!! Our new motto for Italy...

Miss Carla Meucci came to the Villa to prepare an authentic Tuscan meal on Sunday night... we were all full by the time the "secondi" course arrived... and we've been eating leftovers all week. We have invited her back for a command performance on our last night at the villa... giving her total freedom to prepare her favorite dishes for us! And did I mention the wine... hum... it's flowing like water... we've been making regular purchases at the Chianti festival in town at an average of 3.50 Euros per bottle!




Angie and I at the top of one of the many towers in San Gimignano... the "play" portion of our adopted agenda. 463 steps to the top of the Duomo dome in Florence, 500 steps to the top of the tower in Siena yesterday and again to the top in San Gimignano! There ia always Gelato to be eaten one you're back down!!

I went to bed last night to the lovely sound of laughter... we site together in the evenings and compare notes about our day... mostly about the thrills of driving on these gently winding Italian country roads... with crazy Italian drivers buzzing around us like bees on a mission!
Le Dolce Vita... life is sweet here in Montespertoli! Wish you were here with us!
