This was our final day with Collette Tours. We spent the morning touring the historic (very) hillside town of San Gimignano, known for its medieval architecture surrounding a triangular town square. The village is protected by walls and towers built to keep it safe during the Middle Ages.

Italy-Day 12, Val d'Orcia, Artisinal Pasta Factory, Montalcino, and Wine Tasting
Another amazing day in the beautiful Val d'Orcia. Today, we started off at a pasta factory that prides itself on using ancient grains that are grown organically and then turned into pasta using nothing more than the ground grains and water.
Heading to the Farmers Market~~Time to make the Weekly Menu
Happy Sunday, Everyone. We got home last night, and I immediately fell into bed and started snoring.
That's not entirely true....I did have to give some loving to my babies first.
