Who doesn’t love Tuscany?  Stunning scenery, great wine, fine food, hilltop villages and the warm Spring sunshine.  The quiet little village of Montefollonico, near well-known Montepulciano, will be my home for four weeks.  I won’t just be wining and dining and touring…I am actually enrolled at the somewhat famous Il Sasso Language School.  I’ll be spending three hours a day expanding my Italian with a one-on-one tutor.  Focus will be on conversation and daily living situations.   Can an old dog learn new tricks?

But don’t despair, I have a long list of day and weekend trips planned.  We’ll see Pienza, Chianti, Montalcino, Perugia, Pitigliano and even do a circuit of the famous car museums in Modena.  Along the way, we’ll visit Etruscan tombs and thermal spas and even a Cherry festival.  Come along for the ride.  See what its like to really LIVE in Italy.
