Pasqua In Toscana


We had a very relaxing break for Easter & my birthday staying in a small quiet rented apartment near San Gimignano in Toscana or "Chiantishire" as its known....and driving around eating, wine tasting and visiting the picturesque villages around.

To be honest, while the area is undoubtedly lovely, so far in Italy I've rarely seen so many tourists and signs, menu's & everything in english.  While obviously very handy it did detract from the experience a bit, and many other people we talked to found it a bit much.

We ate at two fantastic restaurants alongside all the other simply very good ones - Castello Banfi and Taverna Banfi http://www.banfi.it/ & the excellent Osteria del Vicario http://www.osteriadelvicario.it/2007/index.html on the 10th for a giant 800g Bistecca alla Fiorentina and a fantastic bottle of Brunello di Montalcino.  Truly recommended if your ever in the this neck of the woods....

I think you need a bit more of a story with this as this isn't really a news story in its current form. Perhaps you could write about why you like Michael so much
It is hard to say such a thing is clear.

will be happy to be proved wrong with this one.... but having done survival training during my Army days, I have to admit to a raised eyebrow with this as well.

such a person should be a good sentence, or the future will be more rampant.
