We arrive in Rome

We are renting our tiny little Fiat with four passengers and all of our luggage. Off we go driving 
From Rome to Tuscany. W

Our first stop along the way was an quant little Hilltop town called Montepulciano. They were taking their Sunday morning bike ride very seriously. 
A girls gotta eat and drink after a long day of traveling. 


All done and ready to check into our Villa.
