My first visit to the Italian Tuscany! My story #mygreatphotos

Dear Steemit friends:

Until now, I shared with you information about my passion, Yoga,
and practices, philosophy, and literature with the intention of collaborating
to connect here and now in the moment, with our most intimate
BEING.

But I am not only an Instructor and Health Assistant, I also love to
travel. I have already shared some photos which are amazing places for me, like
Istanbul! In addition to specific videos that we recorded in our
trips because they amazed us at that time, we saw constructions, customs and
other herbs as we say in my country .... (which means "and a bit of everything" in
case you do not understand).

Today I want to share with you a special travel experience for me! It was my first time in Italy, the land of Pascual, my grandfather, before he had to migrate to the Americas. Later on, Argentina was his destiny and many years later I was born there.

This trip was the second trip I did with Richard, for you @qrwizard, my boyfriend. We started our trip in Rome, that´s because Richard lives in Spain and me, as I mentioned before, in Argentina. We are a couple not of the standard as You will see, and it has worked for us, we have been together for three years!

On this trip we visited the Italian Tuscany.
Here we are, just introducing us by a photo, too.

Richard's hat was happened to find at the Naples airport while trying to recover my lost suitcase ... and it was his salvation considering we went in June and the sun was terrible!

When I travel, I have the fortune to have always sunny days! Even in London! When we visited there we arrived with clear blue sky and full sun! Going back to the hat history, imagine if it wasn´t a great goal finding a hat! A welcome souvenir!

In this post I am going to tell you about our experience in Montepulciano, in the Italian Tuscany. It is one of the points we visited in the Province of Siena.

Here some info about this area of Italy.
Tuscany is a region in central Italy with an area of about 23,000 square kilometres (8,900 square miles) and a population of about 3.8 million inhabitants (2013). The regional capital is Florence (Firenze). Tuscany is known for its landscapes, traditions, history, artistic legacy, and its influence on high culture.

Our trip was done by car from Rome to Montepulciano, the route is enchanting, you should not miss the landscapes. Tuscany, far from the Mediterranean coast is a complete different landscape, it is worth visiting it!.

The landscape you can see from the route is super recommendable! Do not get tired of seeing to everywhere! Green, green, and more green.

We stopped at a beautiful hotel booked from Argentina, it was far from the center but it was very nice, besides having a roofed pool and some wonderful owners, I still remember the breakfasts! They were incredibles!

Unfortunately we rescued very few photos of the Hotel the view from our balcony, and some of the breakfast.

The first day, we got exhausted since we arrived after noon, there were only batteries for dinner!

Below I share photos from our homemade Italian pasta dishes that we had at dinner.

The next day, we toured the center and surroundings, it took us all day!

First we visited a Church, you can see it far away, in the next photo,

The Church inside, Parish of Montepulciano

Now I am going to share some surroundings panoramic views. The views from the Church are important because the Church is located on a hill from where you could see all the plain from there!

Beautiful place and amazing views!
It is impossible if you are there not try to sit down on the grass to connect with nature and the supreme!

Then we started walking down the hill, and we found the original classic fiat cinquecento car! In my country, we know it as FIAT 600.

The roads were turning to narrow streets with strange forks and sometimes very narrow streets to travel with cars, really the Italians are geniuses drivers because the streets are very narrow, very difficult for me…

And after crossing with the Fiat 600 we find a scooter motorcycle, another tipical transport in Italy, necessaries to continue through the streets that were still narrowing.

Walking… walking… each time, we were more surprising, seeing and listening birds of all species, cats and deers! I will owe the deer but here is the photo with the cat!

I wish, I could remember the names of the streets, because they have all names evoking love and good taste! like Via del Amore, etc! There were everywhere beautiful brick buildings, flowers in the windows, everything very clean and impeccable.

To remember, Coffee step, typical Tuscan Coffee.

Richard found a broom on the side of the road and could not pass up, he saw the opportunity to make the photo for the memory! Framed in an altar and all on!

And as it is due in Italy, when you are walking, you always find a Church or a square and here goes the one we find!

Neither, couldn´t be missing the crafts, ceramics, enamels, with incredible designs! I would have brought them all!

And I also bought some pictures in a tiny gallery of art. The artist a 90-year-old painter who painted with pastels the landscapes of the place, both of them are hanging in my room today.

And to seal our trip to Tuscany, nothing better than a kiss of true love, just like in the movies!

Thanks for reading!
