OReilly,

WOW! A picture is truly worth 1000 words.....

Thank you for sharing your fabulous photos. You captured some amazing architecture and tuscan life. We'll be taking our first trip to Tuscany in October and it was great to see her countryside in Spring.

You've convinced us all that ballooning in Tuscany is a must. My DH and I took a balloon ride (on the spur of the moment) in Napa during our honeymoon a decade ago and it was the highlight of our trip. I can only imagine that doing the same in Tuscany would be simply spectacular.

BTW..Those photos of the shadow of the balloon amidst the clouds are simply breathtaking. AAAahhhh!

Also...I'm on my way out to buy (at least) a dozen more memory cards for my camera!

Thank you for your lovely photos. Volterra kind of reminds me of the Old Town of Rodos.

Did you buy any nice jewellery when you were in Italy?

Did you go to Milano and stand in line at Fendi with all the Russian mafia wives for the fur sale?

Do you have a website link for the ballooning that you did?

Thanks for posting.. I will bookmark this as we are going there in janury.

I hope the winter is not too harsh to enjoy the driving tour - I need to research moe as you can tell!!!

Husband and wife team. She's an artist and her work is amazing.

Ger, I'll bookmark this if you don't mind, I am planning a trip to Tuscany one of these months...
