On Monday here in Tuscany, after keeping a pretty hectic schedule the past two and a half weeks, we decided to hunker down and stay at our villa.  The weather was windy and rainy and was not very enticing for exploring this land.  We cooked our own breakfast and settled back to read and catch up on all things going on back home.  When it came time for dinner, we all pitched in and made some bruschetta and spaghetti carbonara.  Quite tasty and satisfying.  Early to bed was the order of the day to rest up for our continued explorations tomorrow.  There is a village called Pitigliano, the Little Jerusalem, that we hope to visit tomorrow.  It is about two hours from here.
