Montepulciano




It's so wonderful here. Yesterday we spent some time in the market, bought some fruits and veggies. Then headed up, up, up hill to the main square in the town. We had lunch there and just enjoyed walking around the town. It is very nice and relaxing so far. We also went shopping for some groceries at the supermarket. We walked here from Le Coste de Cicolina, which was about a mile or so up hill and hot sun shining on us in the late morning, but on the way down, it was much better since it was downhill and shaded at that time.

The views here are amazing. We thought that maybe today we figured out a way to put pictures up on the blog, but it didnt happen. Oh well, we will keep trying, but if not, we will post pictures as soon as we get home.

Last night was a very hard night. While I was making dinner, there was this glass piece on the stove that totally shattered from getting too hot. I thought we were using it right, but, whatever, something happened and must have not been right and it broke. Yep, glass everywhere, small tiny pieces. It was so horrible!!! Dinner was ruined and we spent about an hour or so cleaning it up. Anyway, we just felt so bad about this and, me especially, spent all night nervous about telling the family about it in the morning. Ed remained calm, though, and told me it would be fine, and we would just make sure to pay for it. And he was right, it was fine. Elsa told us it was just a small thing, to not worry about it. So now we feel a lot better. It just seems like one thing after the other on this trip! Craziness!

I'm thinking maybe for us both to have good luck, we both needed to be crapped on by a bird!! As Ed would say, though, many things are also going well on this trip, so I shouldnt keep pointing out the things that have been difficult. Anyway, today is great! The weather is so nice here. Nice breeze, just the right temperature in the shade, its perfect! We will spend some time in town today, maybe do some wine tours and tasting. Maybe some shopping! Ciao for now! Thanks for all the comments. It's good to here from everyone back home! And thank you for the support and prayers for my Grandpa!

So I can tell which posts are Ed's without even looking. Don't worry I recorded the Bachelorette and after the final rose for you to watch when you get home. I want to watch again too! Sorry though Ed, I didn't record any Tigers games.
