June 23--day 16
Walking tour, then a couple of hours on our own, some shopping, a wicked awesome porchetta sandwich, the David, and an awesome dinner at a Tuscan villa turned into a restaurant!

| We walked by this place on the walking tour. We went back for lunch. See picture below. |
 |
| Teri, this one's for you. There are TONS of motorbikes on the road. They drive like maniacs! |
 |
| la prochetta |
 |
| translated--roast pork with a porcini mushroom cream, truffle cram, tomatoes, eggplant "relish" and some arugula--fantastic |
 |
| really big doors--they're everywhere |
 |
| just a couple of years ago, they started letting people take pictures of Michelangelo's masterpiece |
 |
| seventeen days with these good people (minus the leaf) at our Tuscan feast |
 |
| incredible assortment of salads, grilled vegetables, bruschetta |
 |
| ravioli stuffed with ricotta and spinach with a truffle cream sauce--my favorite pasta of the trip |
 |
Tim's mixed grill--pork, beef, chicken, sausage, and lamb with roasted potatoes
|
 |
| my T-bone |
 |
| a really smooth and creamy panna cotta and chocolate cheesecake |
 |
| On our way home from dinner, we got a great view of the city. |
