Photo from patio of Fattoria Poggio Alloro
Moooving experience
We visited the barns at Fattoria Poggio Alloro and it was refreshing to see and smell farm animals again. This is one of the cows they have and here is the description of the breed from their site:
SELECTED CHIANINA BREED
This is one of the most ancient Tuscan breeds, once sung by Latin poets and portrayed in the Roman bas-reliefs, and today considered the best bovine breed for meat in the world.
A fireplace I could get into.....literally!
At Fattoria Poggio Alloro, we ate in one of the oldest rooms on the estate near this quaint fireplace. After lunch Eileen and I decided to jump in and warm ourselves by the fire.

We spent a day at Fattoria Poggio Alloro as I described earlier, and thought I would share a couple of photos from that day. We had a fabulous time and was truly a memorable day for us all.

Have you ever felt like this...
As we were walking along the canal in Venice we came across this lady sitting in the sun taking a little nap and it made me smile and I couldn't help but snap a photo.
Little pig - big luck!

We rubbed his nose for luck. Brian tells us that a coin placed in his mouth and released that drops into one of the slots in the grate below insures good luck. Mine dropped right in!
Another view in St. Peters
The light was so beautiful as is shone through the windows and illuminated the chapel inside of St. Peters.

The candle on the bottom left is one that I had lit in remembrance of loved ones who have passed and those valiantly fighting their own battles.
