Montalcino-Brunella Capital of the World

Our tour of Tuscany continued today.  Still unable to upload pictures to the Blog.  I'll add them later.  We spent the day in Montalcino.  Had lunch a a great little Italian restaurant. Il Grappolo Blu.  If you are ever in Montalcino, please eat there.  I know this blog is boring.  If you do not enjoy wine tasting, staying in a villa in a castle from the 12th century and eating in fantastic Italian restaurants and viewing some of the prettiest scenery around, then you probably would not like Italy.  The people are very friendly, they don't speak English, we don't speak Italian, but they will go out of their way to help you.  More tomorrow....

A Day in Germany Continues Part II

As was stated earlier, our plans were changed but we still had a great day. The clouds stated and a little light rain fell from the heavens.  Since the top of Germany wasn't happening for us today, our tour guides Jerry & Linda (my brother & sister-in-law) developed a change in plans.  They took us to Schloss Neuschwanstein (Cinderella Castle) for Pat and me to tour. Jerry & Linda had already did the tour so they visited  one of the local villages.  Here are some pictures at the castle. Our ride to the Castle from the parking area.
