  After three amazing days in Rome, we rented a car and drove north.  We’d decided to spend an entire day on the weaving roads of Tuscany, stopping in small towns, drinking local wine and walking the tiny streets.  Literally, the tiniest streets I’d ever seen.  I half expected the townspeople to start singing something [...]
