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.

A fireplace I could get into.....literally!
the Vineyard-farm
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!
Il Porcellino" (The Little Pig) stands in the Straw Market in Florence, Italy
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.
Another view of the chapel
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.
Another photo along the hike to San Miniato al Monte
The fog was lifting and the sun starting to shine as I snapped this photo nearing the church.
A view along the path
on the way up to San Miniato al Monte. This tree resembled the Whomping Willow of Harry Potter fame.
