Today we went on a formal "wine tour" of Tuscany. Our driver, a lovely local gal, picked us and our tourmates up at our hotel. The couple with us were from Alaska, on their honeymoon. Nice gig, slightly better than our honeymoon in South Buffalo. But I digress...

We did two wineries, with tastings at both. Unlike in the US, each winery did at least 7 tastings, and each tasting was a full glass of wine. So, we did something like 15 full glasses between the wineries. We get back into the van to leave, drunk as skunks, and the honeymooners pull out yet another bottle of wine...one for the road. Nothing much else to do up in Alaska but drink I guess, and they were certified professionals. We drink that bottle on the way back to the hotel, increasing our inebriation. Then we go out to dinner with them and down 2 more bottles.

Needless to say, when we awoke about 2pm the following afternoon, we hurt...a lot...
