Tuscany - Siena e Chianti




The past two days have been tiring, and amazing. Yesterday we went to Siena and Chianti. Siena is a medieval hill town - the rival of Firenze - with amazing views, culture and history (and it's a bit hard on the feet & calves, but totally worth it!). Afterwards, we took a detour to Chianti, and went to a (real) vineyard and winery. The owner - not interested in the economics of wine - said that we should taste the earth - the rocks - the terra in the wine. It was outstanding. Today, in-your-face Florence. Breathtaking and tiring. I will withhold on those pictures, and show a few from yesterday. Am I really so lucky to live in this place for almost four months? The answer, is yes.




Ah, Tuscany!



Chianti anyone?




This is how you do a door, dearies.



Atop Siena.
