Under the Tuscan Sun

For the European Labor Day, May 1, we had a little visit to the Tuscany area of Italy. We stayed on a horse farm in a beautiful apartment with a pool, plenty of green space and a million dollar view of the mountains and beautiful race horses across the garden. We also visited the Leaning Tower of Pisa (of course) and the marble mines of Carrara, the largest deposit of white marble in the world (in Italiano, "cave di marmo). It was a wonderful and relaxing weekend.
