 Querce Al Pino. Nothing much out here, except for 4 hotels, a shopping mall and a gas station. |
 Another view from my hotel. |
 Montepulciano |
 Lands surrounding Montepulciano |
 Montepulciano - one of the entrances to town |
 main street |
 wine shop |
 Italian sausages. Tasted some of them, they are great! |
 Free samples to go with wine - the red stuff is pepperocino but on the Asian scale of spiciness is not spicy. |
 Cheese on shelves |
 Among them - wine flavored sausages and cheese |
 more cheese... spicy cheese! |
 on the way to check out the wine cellar |
 tons of wine barrels |
 that come in various sizes... |
 These are the smaller ones... |
 |
 |
 Never got around to try this place as it was closed. |
 |
 Montepulciano surroundings |
 Had light lunch on the balcony of a restaurant in the center building |
 which overlooks the Tuscan landscape. It's worth getting a tan... |
 |
 Houses in Montepulciano |
 The big piazza, nice place to have a break as it was a steep climb to get here. |
 A cafe on the piazza |
 I think they have something similar in Florence.. or is it Siena?? |
 |
 Glimpse of the vineyards |
 too mesmerizing..... |
 |
 A mosaic laboratory |
 Master at work.... |
 more vineyards |
 at every lookout point in Montepulciano, you see vineyards |
 |
 Cute doggy watching people walking by on the street below. He/she looks real comfy |
 San Gimignano - it has about 7 tall towers which symbolizes wealth and power in the past. |
 A shop where you can find anything from a wildboar and more.... |
 Had pasta with wildboar sauce... it was good. |
 |
 |
 courtyard of some important building |
 |
 perhaps the townhall |
 the grande piazza |
 |
 |
 a different view of the townhall... |
 |

 Shop closed. The card clipped on the bamboo says "Away for coffee break". |

 Soap, anyone? |
 |
 I was actually here.... in San Gimignano |
 Another piazza... |
 Another landscape picture |

 Rain and hail in Siena in September!!!!! |
 Marmore waterfall, Umbria. Half closed. |
 Coming down at full force.... |
 Taking a walk around the area... |
 Paradise for white-water kayakers |
 Tunnel to the mid-section of the waterfall. |
 this is the end.... basically you get rained on if you want to.. |
 A dark smaller tunnel that forks out from the main tunnel... I didn't check out where it leads to... |
 Mountaineous Umbria |
 Catching the rainbow... |
 We hiked to the top..... relaxed abit and went back down... |
 South of Perugia... cannot remember the name of the town... |
 The crypt below the church... mummification was performed in the crypt back in the 12-16th century. |
 A view of the town... it's pretty small.. |
 Public laundry place - hand wash of course. |
 Onion pizza at the annual onion festival.. |
