I think the most memorable part of our trip was our meal at the Ristoro di Lamole, which was a scenic and ever-so winding 8km drive south of Greve.

Lee had booked our table ahead of time and we were rewarded with a glorious sunset.

We're not foodies, but we love to eat and we both agreed that the food and drink were superb. Luckily for me (unluckily for Lee) we were following my 'husbands must drive in foreign countries' rule, so I was able to enjoy considerably more wine than Lee (although he did sample a bit - it would have been rude not to).

We also took a few day trips to some of the Tuscan hill towns of Volterra and San Gimignano.

We even opted to make a quick morning trip to Pisa, so we too could look like every other tourist.

I know that we would both love to go back to Italy. We were constrained by Lee's work schedule so the next visit would ideally not take place in the middle of summer. I am SO not good in the heat :)
