Hey, Ya'll! (I miss saying Hey, Ya'll...who cares if auto correct thinks it's not a word, right?) Ahh, Tuscany, we can easily see why all of the old stone farmhouses here are being bought up by Europeans and Americans. This place is uniquely beautiful. Everywhere you look there is something to see...there is a saying here that the locals are very proud of: Take a empty picture frame and hold it up in front of you and Toscana will not disapoint. It is true, whereever you look you think you could be looking at a postcard or a painting. I don't really think it is worth trying to describe, but if you ever get the chance to go, do; I am sure this will be one of my favorite places on this trip.
We stayed with some great people in a 700 year old farm house on top of a hill overlooking their olive tree grove and vineyard, with a line of huge Italian Cyprus on the next hill in one direction, and a post card panorama in the other. We built stone walls, made a greenhouse door, drove huge tractors to find giant boulders, weeded, and experienced some amazing Italian cooking (even made pasta by hand).
The area was dotted with ancient towns and covered with vineyards that produce the world famous Brunello Wine...but I'll let the photos do the rest of the talking. One thing is for sure...I will be visiting this place again...
