Pizza, Pasta & More

Tuesday was spent touring Rome and seeing some historic sites such as the Colosseum. Wondering around the ancient city had to be awe inspiring! I can't wait to see all the photo's and hear about the city. 

Wednesday the travelers rented a car (I believe it was called the Panda...I'm not kidding) and drove to Montipulciano for the afternoon.  Nicole said it was absolutly beautiful.  (I'm hoping she remembers that is where my favorite Italian wine comes from......) For those of you Twilite fans, this is where the New Moon movie was filmed. I can almost picture sitting at some rustic cafe having some wonderful form of pasta and peasent bread drinking a glass of wine looking out at an amazing view.....sigh.

From Montipulciano they traveled North to Pisa.  The home, by all accounts, of some of the best pizza in Italy.  I requested that someone have a slice of Pizza Margarita for me but I have a feeling I might be the only one who would like that.... :(  This is also, of course, home of the famous leaning tower.  This really never ceases to amaze me.  How has it stayed like this for so many years?
