Here is a little peak at our honeymoon in Italy - we had the most amazing time!
 |
Rome : Saint Peter's Basilica at the Vatican | Mike at the top of the dome |
 |
| Me in St. Peter's Square at The Vatican (listening to my Rick Steve's travel podcasts) |
 |
| Frescoed Ceiling in the Vatican Museum |
 |
| An adorable bike in Rome - complete with baskets! |
 |
| Rome : Mike at a Cafe enjoying a cappuccino and prosciutto and fresh mozzarella sandwich for breakfast. Mike was obsessed with real Italian cappuccinos... and that they only cost $1.20. The cafe's were so elegant - not at all casual and cozy like Starbucks. |
 |
| Rome : Gelato at the Trevi Fountain - it was magical at night. |
 |
| Rome : The Colosseum |
 |
| Rome : Best lunch in Rome... fresh ravioli. The sauce was so light and flavorful and plenty of cheese on top. |
 |
| Tuscany : We stayed in a bed & breakfast in this medieval winery village in Tuscany called Fonturetoli. |
 |
| Tuscany : This is our living room - it was a hunting lodge. |
   |
 |
| Tuscany : Bed & Breakfast : Mike loved the bountiful spread. |
 | ||
Tuscany : We rented this little convertible to explore wine country.
|
 |
 |
| Mike learning about wine. |
 |
| Very old wine. |
 |
| Tuscany : Mike exploring a country village. |
 |
| Cinque Terre : Fishing villages near the Italian Riviera. |
 |
| Cinque Terre : Hiking between the villages. |
Florence
 |
| Florence : Our Hotel in Florence - I loved this hotel! |
 |
| Florence : Was a little rainy, but made it very romantic. |
 |
| Florence : The Arno River at night. |
 |
| Florence : Mike testing out the local brew... he became quite the fan. Look at the decor of the hotel - I was constantly taking notes. I loved the simple color palate, the mixture of worn and polished antiques, and the framed prints and sketches.... |
 |
| Florence : Our favorite part of the day : Italian Happy Hour : Free appetizers at all of the wine bars! |
 |
| Florence : We had an amazing dinner in our hotel's restaurant, Borge San Jacopo at The Hotel Lungarno (it is one of the best restaurants in Florence... not a typical hotel restaurant). I loved the grey flannel upholstered chairs. |
 |
| Florence : White Truffle Season! |
 |
| Florence : Again, taking design notes... very understated and elegant. |
 |
| Tagliatelle White Truffles |
 |
| Asparagus Stuffed Ravioli |
 |
| Tuscan Filet |
 |
| When in Rome... or Florence... |
 |
| Milk Chocolate Creme Brule. Unbelievable. |
