Ciao Amici,
Its been so great here in Tuscany. We have had such a relaxing time. Last night we had dinner with Elsa, Grezelda, and her son Alessandro outside on the back porch facing the vineyard. It was so nice of them to invite us. The meal was malto bene, very very good!
Then today, we spent the day in Pienza, a small town just 30 min. by bus from Montepulciano. We loved it there. They are known for their Picorino cheeze, so we made sure to try some while we were there. We loved it so much, so we bought some of this cheese, along with wine, and very yummy italian bread (as well as some plastic cups!). We sat overlooking the beautiful tuscan countryside while we had this for our lunch. This was the best day yet in Italia so far. This little town is so beautiful. So many little niches and spots that we could never do justice to with just words or pictures. We also toured the palace of Pope Pius II, which was very interesting.
Before we left Pienza for the day, we went back and bought a bunch of cheese to take back to the U.S. with us, but hopefully we will not eat it all before we get there!
Back in Montepulciano, we tasted some salami at another shop. The flavor is still in my mouth and it is to die for!!!! We have not even had an actual meal today, but I have to say it is the best food that we have tasted here yet! I wish you all were here with us! We miss everyone!

Hi Jenny, I just saw a comment you wrote on Kristin's page. It's fun to see you on here! It looks like you are having a great time! I'm sorry to hear about your grandpa. Take care!
By the way- this is Lisa (Merriam). I forgot to write that last time!
Pictures! Fun! Two questions:
1) Jenny, when did you cut your hair?
2)Ed, did you get a tattoo?
:)
1. She cut it right before we left. Cause, it's like hot here and stuff.
2. I got my tattoo in 1997. And yes, it's the only one.
