We kicked off our summer adventures exploring the Tuscan countryside. We stayed at Villa Campestri Olive Oil Resort ... oh Rachel, you would have loved it!
 |
| We took a Tuscan Sauces cooking class! I kept our shoes tucked away in my camera bag during the class. This is Jerry, our Italian chef! We made five Tuscan Sauces together and Jerry paired them with different pastas that evening for dinner .... there was so much pasta that we had a separate table set up to keep the plates! |
 |
| Basic Sauce with fresh tomatoes, garlic, basil and olive oil |
 |
| Mushroom Sauce ... this was delicious! |
 |
| Walnut Sauce .... yummy! |
 |
| The next day we drove to Florence and walked around the city. I took you to the historic Ponte Vecchio bridge and hung the shoes on the amongst the love locks. |
 |
| Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore |
 |
| Shoes! |
 |
| We walke the leather district ... the purses were gorgeous! |
 |
| We thoroughly enjoyed the tranquility of our Tuscan Villa. |
