The only thing better than Under the Tuscan Sun is Under the Tuscan Umbrella
You’ll never guess who’s wearing metallic!
It’s Saturday and has been pouring rain here in Siena most of the day — complete with thunder and lightening. Our Guide, Carrrrrlito, picked us up at our hotel this morning and drove us to Fagliori B&B in the Tuscan countryside where we had a cooking lesson by chef Guilietta. We learned how to make homemade pasta, pesto sauce, a fresh vegetable dish, pork loin, and a yummy apple dessert in her kitchen. Fact: There are apples here named MELINDA! (She is VERY excited about that.)
We enjoyed our creation and ate most of it ourselves. We have to tell you about this amaaaaazing B&B that’s over 800 years old. Better yet, check out our pics. If you’re ever in the middle of “nowhere Tuscany”, you have to look this place up. www.fagliori.it
She made Robert Zemekis lunch there.
Afterwards we visited a small town in Chianti and went wine tasting in the Abbey of Monte Oliveto Maggiore. Incredible winery — beautiful views…like a castle. The wine cellar was built over 1000 years ago.
The entire day was spent mostly driving through Tuscany where we saw miles of vineyards, olive trees, pine, oaks, wild boar, lambs, and villas 
View from our balcony at the Hotel Grand Continental
sprinkled throughout. It was incredible…like Deniz from Venice. (heehee…Michelle’s so mad at me for saying that…but it gets a laugh every time)
P.S. Happy Cinco De Mayo! We hope you enjoyed your chips and tacos — we made ourselves lunch in Tuscany.
