New Photos Just For You!


Ahh, Remo's honey. This is some serious, butt kicking honey. He also has Chestnut flower honey in late June which I am very eager to try!


The view from the famous Loggia of Castiglion Fiorentino.


The famous Loggia of Castiglion Fiorentino.


The main corso in Castiglion Fiorentino.


Your eyes are not playing tricks on you, that IS a navy wedding gown. I love this wedding gown store, it is my favorite shop in Castiglion Fiorentino. When I was last there in 2006 they had a red wedding gown.


A random street in Arezzo.


I only thought I was getting a little fruit cup. My fancy dessert at the fancy restaurant I stumbled into in Arezzo.


I have no idea what these were, but there were several blocks like this one scattered along the wall of the Cathedral. I wonder if people were burried in the walls of the church....ooo, that's creepy!


One of the windows of the Cathedral.


A view of the famous cathedral in Arezzo. I could not go in because mass was still going on.


I have no idea what this building once was, probably some government building, but now it is a museum. It is pretty cool because there are all these family crests carved in stone outside of it.


A view of the Palazzo Pubblico from outside the old city walls.


A view of the Palazzo Pubblico, once a government building now a museum, that is the focal point of the Campo.


More little children amazed and bedazzled by the colorful bits of paper.


Some children in the Piazza del Campo running and throwing confetti at one another. Carnevale Tuscan style.


This is what Italians really think about the rest of the world. It was priceless and I just had to snap a photo. We were in this very well known bar in Siena called Bar Nannini.


A view of the restaurant. I think it must have been a slow day for them, but it was a very fun cozy little place. I think I would like to go back there whenever I am in Siena again. Although, they did mix up my order and gave me some fishy pasta which I did not like but felt forced to eat while they were making the dish I had actually asked for. Still, the service was very nice.


The view out of the window at the restaurant where Pam, Siena, Emma, and I ate lunch. That day we were suppose to have gone to Florence, but because Sam needed some more official documents from Italy, we had to go into Siena and skip Florence. All in all it was a really nice day though.


Some flowers I bought from the florist in Castelnuovo. Actually, I bought a peace lilly from her as well, but when I saw these blue roses, I just could not help myself and I bought some. They are died of course. What also persuaded me to buy some was the fact that the woman was so nice to me. I had just visited a stall selling flowers and the man working there was very rude and unhelpful, so I took my business elsewhere.


Market day in Castelnuovo Berardegna. The market is mostly centralized on this street, but I just love going into town. I love walking from stall to stall and just being able to get out a little.

several of these beautiful photos are definite blow-ups! Especially LOVE the blue roses! Be sure you get home with a disc or memory stick of these this summer.
