TuscAhhhhhhhny!


We spent a long weekend in Tuscany, meeting up with Uncle D (who joined us from Naples). As with all things Tuscan, we were treated to a feast for both eyes and stomachs.

Volterra:
     Our first stop in Tuscany, and our first fancy Italian dinner since arriving into Italy - made even fancier thanks to T!


                   

Siena:
     Spectacular sights, and an equally spectacular truffle-laden pasta. 





San Gimignano:
      Views and vittles combined, including a dessert feast for and of the eyes; a sweet finish to our weekend!

    The waiter noticed me staring at my dish with reverence normally reserved only for Papal visits...and he then added a pile of fresh-shaved truffles to top it off. Yes, it was a religious experience!
