Under the Tuscan sun

This is the view from where we are staying in Tuscany. We are about an hour out of Florence staying in a 14 hundred year old home, with the most breathtaking of views imaginable. It's 1015 in the morning and we are sitting under a vine covered portico listening to Christmas carols!!! Matthew needs to fix his ipod - we are all reluctant to move but in just a minute we will have to. We are heading off to Siena today to explore and have lunch or maybe dinner by the time we get going but since we are in no hurry it doesn't matter.
