We had an unbelievable day today. All 11 of us jumped on a bus and went to a vineyard, a olive oil farm and a goat cheese farm. Each person had such a passion for their respective farm. The vineyard is owned by a neuro-physcologist who has a 5 acre vineyard that has won in top 10 at international wine contests. He lives in this 16th century home that is original. He bought it 12 years ago and liked how it was all original walls etc. etc. I bought 2 bottles of wine that we will have in Maiden Rock. It's a red wine so Fran I'm sorry. It's the only kind he's passionate about (red wine)!. The olive oil farm has been in the family that owns that since the 18th century. We met a son and then the Momma and Pappa showed us their library that has 16th century manuscripts! I'm bringing two kinds of olive oil and some truffel paste to Maiden Rock. We had a 2 1/2 hour lunch with the olive oil family. Then the goat farm guy treated us to actually seeing the goats being milked. No goat cheese though. What a day. I end with a supper here at the villa and white wine. Tomorrow we cook again. No pictures yet. They're in Ann's camera and she's not here as I type. A trip of a lifetime with Annie Michelle. Love to you all.

tell Fran I have a pill she can take 15 min before drinking red wine and possibly no effect. That is if it's the sulfites in it that bother her or the histamine. Your trip sounds so great!!!

Trip of a life time INDEED!!!! So glad for you both and looks like we'll reap some of the benefits as well. Thanks for sharing and can't wait to see you guys.
The camera was with me because mom killed the battery in it, like she killed the battery in hers. Thankfully, I remembered my charger. :) They are accomodating my gluten free diet with variation to the meal for me specifically so I eat differently than everybody else but am having a fabulous experience. My smart phone is working perfectly in Europe with AT&T coverage. Not so with Verizon for mom. We're blogging from the villa's computer since it's easier with a full keyboard and screen.
