Italy Day One

March 6

Got up at 7 and had breakfast at the hotel. Very pleasant. Marco, the hotel owner, drove Ann and me to the National Library, where we met Hayley and the other people in our group for a Tuscan Wine Tour with Rebecca. http://www.tuscan-wine-tours.com/index.htm It was fantastic fun! Cannot say enough about it. We enjoyed ourselves beyond. We had a great group and started out at a little chocolatier for a tasting. We also had a blasamic vinegar tasting and stopped at a couple of vineyards for wine. We had a delicious Tuscan meal at a safron and olive oil farm. We also stopped at two tiny medival type villages. So unline anything I've ever experineced. The scenery and colors were amazing. Just as one would imagine. And the wine and food were beyond compare. It was a magical, marvolous day. We felt like we made new, dear friends and hated to leave them at day's end.


After the tour, we returned to the hotel briefly and then headed to Hayley's apartment via bus. Hayley made us dinner. So cute! And very tastey!

Took the bus back to the hotel, washed out some pinkies and went to bed.
