Today (May 5 for future reference) was my birthday. I won't reveal the year. This is how I spent it.
Took a walk up the path past the house with Steve. Incredible views. Lots of sheep.
Drove into Pienza with Bob and Jane. Toured city, ate lunch, bought molto pecorino cheese and salami from hot guy to bring to Maine this summer. Now it's up to Jane to grow the fava beans.
Drove to another adorable Tuscan village--Bagno Vignoli--with ancient Roman bath.
Drove back to Casselloccia. Took a shower. Got ready for dinner. Bob and Steve played bocce on the lawn.
Went to dinner at La Porta in Monticchello since it was Marcella's day off. Had prosecco on roof overlooking sunset. Ate dinner--risotto with white aspargus and white truffles was a highlight--drank two bottles of Casonva da Neri wine and then finished off with an Ornellaia--sang happy birthday multiple times.
Forunately, driven back to Casseloccia. The rest is history.
