Today we took a drive to Valleno. We stopped at Trattoria Manero for a beautiful lunch. Once again we were amongst the beautiful locals. As I went to move a wine glass it went tumbling off the table. My heart dropped. My amazing hubby, with a blink of an eye, saw what was happening and caught the glass 😱😱😱. He received a smile and bravo from a gentleman sitting in the other room. All the food was delicious including the house wines. As we were leaving we stopped to say hello to the gentleman mand and his wife (Simone & Elisa). They invited to sit down and have an after meal drink. We chatted for quite some time. They gave us tips on some day journeys. They even treated us to the drinks. Once again we have made new friends in our Tuscan travels....

It was a most relaxing and enjoyable evening. Thank you Fabrizzio and Massimo...
