Three More Days...
We are now in Rome. Our last destination in our Euro tour. We spent a few days in Pienza overlooking the rolling golden hills of sunflowers, freshly shorn wheat fields, soft green vineyards and ancient castles of Tuscany. We also got to stay a night on a vineyard and had a homemade dinner with the Italian wine-makers. Roberto, the father, entertained us with stories of sunken treasure hunting, local wine-making, age-old wisdom and his general love of life. Anyone traveling through Tuscany should spend s few nights at their place, Podere Torreno.

Lyon, Nice, Cinque Terre, Florence
Hello blog readers. I'm sorry that we've abandoned the blog for a while there. We haven't had a chance to post for a few cities now. Hopefully we will have pictures to post in the next couple of days. Quick update. I loved Nice, Babette and I flipped out being there. The Mediterranean is unbelievable. It's warm, clear, green, blue it's perfect. We visited Monaco, saw the famous casino, beautiful lavish city. Cinque Terre was extraordinary. We stayed in Vernazza. We got a chance to snorkel. It blew my mind. We found an old catholic statue out deep from the docks. It's been awesome with Amy and Patrick, we've laughed a lot. We're in Florence now and have liked it a lot, mostly the art and old churches. Michaelangelo's 'David' was my favorite. We're staying at a really nice place that we're shocked is affordable for us. Next is Tuscany region, Rome and Vespa's. I kicked a sea urchin and got a sunburn while doing my favorite thing this whole trip, snorkelling, so it was worth it but I've been limping around Florence and the art galleries with a long sleeve shirt, avoiding the sun. If some one was following me here they would be convinced that I was a lost, injured vampire looking for shelter. With a euro mullet. Ciao for now.
