2. Thank you, my dear CurtEastPoint!
This was in Tuscany, north of Rome...
And it was a beautiful, tranquil day! |

5. Oh, you must go back and see Tuscany!
If I were going to go back, that's where I would go.
The scenery, the climate, the people...the food! It was so wonderful. The day we spent at the monastery was our best day... |

8. Definitely
Tuscany was the cradle of the renaissance.
Florence (my favourite city), Pisa, Siena, Lucca, and much else is all there. |

7. Did you get to taste the wine?
It looks heavenly there. Thanks for the beautiful pictures!
Does that Roman numeral read 1095? It can't be THAT old, can it? |

9. The inscription could be later
It appears to give a date of a gift (donatum) for which 1095 could be entirely plausible, even if the image referring to it was later.

11. I did, my dear femmocrat!
But just that one glass.....there were opportunities for other vintages, but I knew it would not be smart for me to have any more.
It was heavenly! I think that day we felt more relaxed and comfortable than at any other place we visited. The monastery was very old. I don't remember just how old, but that date would not surprise me. Glad you enjoyed! |

16. Nice Peggy...
How was the wine?
Don't you love it how everything in Europe seems to have a thousand years of history behind it? I mean here a little run down shack is likely just a little run down shack. But in Europe it's probably also where Charlemane rested before such and such a battle, and on and on... |

17. Oh, the wine was good, my dear Locut0s...
Although I was being careful not to have too much. On an empty stomach, it zooms right into my blood stream, and then there's trouble!
The age of things always gets me! In Edinburgh, they talk about the old city and the new city.........and the new city is much older than our country. We are such a young nation! And when you combine that with the history......well, my mind boggles! Glad you enjoyed the pictures... ![]() |

18. Gorgeous, and it must have smelled good there!
Do you remember if there were bees on the flowers? It looks like a bee paradise, but I don't see any.

It did smell good there! And yes, there were bees......lots of them! They were zooming all over.
I did stand back a little from them... ![]() This was the best day of our Italian trip! ![]() |

22. I've been trying for years to find hedges that grow neatly like that
but I'm beginning to wonder if anybody actually sells them here in the US
