Everything is wonderful and we're getting the rhythm of village life (slow, shops are open when they want to be, not always regular hours as posted). Locals recognize us and greet us. We are helping the local economy so they like us.
Today Ivo, who comes to take care of the Villa garden, brought us broccoli, radichio, melon, fennel and greens from his garden. The produce and food are wonderful. Some of the things we have done: shop at the farmer's market, eat at a local restaurant (Tiramisu to die for), olive oil tasting, wine tasting (both with the local somalier and on our own), visit a winery, lots of walks to see local sights, go to bakery, etc. The people of Montisi are friendly and helpful.
Wow Susan, sounds delightful there. Wish I could be there. Miss you being gone though. Can't wait for you to return. Have a blast and drink some good wine for me!
