Michael plans a picnic!

Thursday, May 11 – The end of the day with a nice surprise!

Celebration time! Let's break out that Prosecco

It was after 3 PM by the time we finished our relaxing lunch at Bagno Vignoni, and it was time to head back to our Villa.  The views of Pienza and Montipulciano, driving east, are spectacular, especially in the later afternoon sun.  When we arrived at the Villa, we opened our bottle of Prosecco and celebrated a lovely, peaceful and relaxing day.

Chatting with the family at the end of the day


Later, Michael took a quick trip to the grocery store and purchased items for dinner – our first “picnic” while on this vacation.  We had fresh bread, olives, thinly sliced cooked ham, cheese, and apples.  He even purchased a small can of olive oil from the Villa Cicolina estate.  Yum!  We read, wrote, worked on photos and sat in the living room while enjoying a night cap of espresso brought to us from the restaurant by our cameriere, Danielle.  It will be hard to top this tomorrow!

A "picnic" style dinner - a must have when traveling with Michael
