No, that's not fair; I won't even go there. Instead I'll just put it this way: the number of medieval villages that sit high atop the hills in France and Italy is mind-boggling. Today we visited Montepulciano -- a gorgeous village in the hills of Tuscany, just south of Siena and about 40 minutes west of where are are living this summer. Montepulician is, of course, most widely known for it's wine and olive oil and those products were prominently on display in the village -- most local producers have a shop in town and most of those shops have vast underground cellars where the wine is being stored in various sized oak barrels. Just walking through these cellars is an incredible experience that seems to transport you into the 13th and 14th centuries.
The cheese in the cellars didn't smell particularly good.
In the cave with the aging wine.
One clever way to show off bottles of wine.
A little pizza for lunch.
Kids with grandparents.
Two kids with mom.
Three kids with me.
A great old little Fiat. Too bad those two guys wouldn't get out of the way.

Nice picture of the Fiat. Dana still rolls her eyes at how many pics I took of all the old cars when we visited!

the picture of Patrick in with the aging cheese is really neat--i've never seen how they do that in a cellar.
