Tuscany

Looking over the Tuscan hillside

Two of my great friends chose one of the most amazing settings I could ever imagine for their wedding—Tuscany! We spent a glorious week basking in the very hot Tuscan sun, enjoying wedding festivities, and spending time with wonderful friends and family - and of course eating our fair share of delicious food! Along with one of the prettiest and sweetest weddings I have ever attended, highlights included jetting around the Argentario in speed boats and diving into the clear blue sea, poking around small wine towns like Montepulciano and Montalcino (where I had the greatest pizza of all time from Il Grifo - which is saying something on a trip full of amazing food), and meeting my best friend, her husband, and baby for dinner along the Arno in Florence.
