We stayed in an old farmhouse about an hour's
north of Pisa. |

A roadside family photo on a gorgeous day. |

We visited a ceramics fair and Sooz was as pretty
as the artworks! |

The nearest big town was the delightfully named Poggibonsi and we visited
the market there. |

We had a wonderful day in the village of San Gimigniano. |

A view of Tuscany from the highest point in town. |

Remarks about fava beans and Chianti are appropriate
here. |

San Gimigniano was as beautiful at night as it was in the day. |

We went to Siena and the main square was being
covered in dirt for the upcoming Palio, a horse race dating back hundreds
of years. |

Here's a family photo from atop the bell tower
in Siena. |

We drove to the beach at the also delightfully
named Bibbona, which Grant enjoyed greatly. |

Lots of great food in beautiful settings. Sooz' Italian skills were much
appreciated. |

We were told by locals they had a tower in Pisa
so we took a look at it. |

In Milan, they may not build as high, but at least the Duomo isn't
leaning! |
