Part of the reason for being neglegent in blogging is because I was getting ready for my Treasures of Tuscany trip. I MADE IT.
After flying Toronto to Rome and then catching a connecting flight to Florence than a 45 minute drive south to the Chianti Region - we are tucked away into our Villa for the first part of our Journey. What an amazing place. I am posting a couple of pictures of the Villa. We had an amazing meal this evening and it is 9:30 pm and I am about to go to bed. We have a full day tomorrow - hitting San Gimignano in the morning (with a wine tour) then lunch, a tour of Siena and then dinner in Siena.
We arrived at the Villa around 1:15 - by the time we unpacked and got settled in a group of us went out the pool and "sampled" some wine. The clouds started to come in around 4:30. Luckily the weather for the next 10 days is sunny and high 70s.
The pool (and view) at the Villa
I know.. a picture of a bathroom - but it is so adoreable. I couldn't resist.
My room has an enclosed patio off the sliding glass doors. 
To me this is Italy - Vespa's lined up outside the Villa. 
Did you know... when you log into Blogger from a foreign country all the login commands are in the other language?
Off to bed.
