Montepulciano

Montepulciano is a nice little mountaintop city where I took both my Norwegian guests and Albie & Court. Some (hopefully no readers of this blog) might know it as the film location for the second Twilight movie. There's "New Moon"-related stuff on sale everywhere and even items on the menus of the local restaurants. Ugh.

All pics from Montepulciano can be seen here.

Some nice views:




The interior of a local restaurant where we had an overpriced lunch... they had a New Moon menu, which had Albie retching with disgust.


Towards the top, where the main road takes a sharp right up to the very summit (we didn't climb up it) there's a place down the road to your left, where they sell all sorts of local goodies. Mostly liquor and wine, but also bread, sausages and cheese. They had these rooms full of cool, old wine crates.


This guy was the cooooolest. The first time I was there, me and Heidi were certain he was stuffed, cuz he was sitting absofuckinlutely still. I almost jumped when he moved his ears. There was cold air coming from the cellar behind him so he had both airconditioning and sun. Also, he's probably the most photographed cat in all of Tuscany.
