last stop - Tuscany

This was our last stop - Tuscany - and from all that I had heard I was prepared for stunning beauty. We took a tour to a small village and a vineyard - but I have seen other more beautiful landscapes in the Mediterranean. It was a typical mountaintop village but it overlooked an industrial valley. The vineyard had high tension wires running through it. We have beautiful vineyards in Nova Scotia. We saw the Leaning Tower of Pisa in the distance from the highway and then it began to pour rain. It is either over rated or there must be more to it all, but we were not to find out because we flew back to Canada the next day.

It had been a glorious trip, even thouigh Italy washed out, we still had a whale of a time.
