Under the Tuscan Sun



This was a much needed breath of fresh air, gazing out over the Tuscan countryside on a wonderfully sunny day. The rental and navagation of the tiny white auto was quite intense and stressful - so i am very thankful that we had nice weather and lovely vistas to enjoy as we detoxed from our stressful travels.







The perfect end to a satisfying day, sipping a glass of wine at a family run restaurant with the dog shuffling along at our feet.

















I noticed as we were bathing in the light of the sunset that the family dog was equally interested in the beautiful sunset. I didn't have time to perfectly frame the photo, but i loved catching the dog catching the sunset. it struck me as quite the beautiful scenario.





Here we are at Rocca della Macie, our favorite "visit a vineyard, sample their wine" experience for sure. They actually sell this wine at the Olive Garden and we were shocked to find out that a few Olive Garden chefs actually visit the vineyard every year to study Tuscan cooking-haha.
