| Tuscany... beautiful, beautiful Tuscany! I am obsessed with this part of Italia.. actually, who am I kidding.. I am obsessed with ALL of Italy! It is amazing to me that each part of the country can have it's own special claim to fame. And the Tuscans can certainly claim the wine! Maybe it's the fact that they served us Nutella Pizza at dinner (Hayley... I'm hoping you try this and become an expert at it!) or maybe it's the fields and fields of lovely sunflowers, possibly the memories shared with newly acquired friends at wine tasting did it, or even more--the beaches and coastal towns contained in the Tuscan boarders on the Mediterranean ... whatever it was, Tuscany will always hold a special spot in my heart! I hope to return as soon as I possibly can!  |

| Faimly style dinner in Tuscany So the courses in Italy are as such: 1.) BREAD! 2.) Anti-pasti (hope I'm spelling that correctly) 3.) Salad 4.) Entree 5.) Dessert Every meal took no less than 2 hours... especially when wine was involved. I see why in Italy food and together-ness is enough of a reason to celebrate. Oh yes, and we never ate before 9pm.. always finished late |
