Montepulciano

We were planning to go to Montepulciano, Montelcino, and Pienza but Wes spent too much time driving on small curvy roads through the grape vineyards and olive orchards and he got lost a couple of times. :-) So we only spent the day in Montepulciano.

Before going we stopped and picked up Evie's new ring and took this picture of a bee on a passion flower. We had these flowers at our house in TX and we really like them and it was cool with the bee on it.


when we were lost we found the city Castiglion which is beautiful


olive orchards were also beautiful.


clock tower in Montepulciano


all of these old cities have such beautiful small streets, we could live in Italy easily


window with brightly colored flowers makes the arch way even nicer


an old villa - I wish I could afford to buy it and restore it to it's original state with huge vineyard


pictures just do not do the area justice


this is very nice looking vineyard
