Southern Tuscany

Not game to drive in Rome, we trained north to Chusi and picked up a rental car. From there we tiki toured to our digs near the UNESCO world heritage town of Pienza - postcard perfect! We had a couple of bonuses along the way - our very nice hosts offered to teach us to make pasta one morning and also when we went to Sienna, the Milga 1000 was taking place - a 1000 mile trek across Italy for those with a flash enough car and a fat enough wallet.
