What's this?

I pose with my bike while Claire, Lora, Joanne, and Steve huddle over a bike issue. What can I say? They looked pretty at the time. Okay, this actually looks cool. I can see our first stop. Monteriggioni. Now I can see it better. The old buildings in Monteriggioni. Some of the old fortifications at Monteriggioni. Some battlements survived better than others. The round window looks out from the church of <I don't remember -- gotta consult my notes>. The group is enjoying a rest at Monteriggioni following the ride up there. Paul, Geri, and David are in the foreground. My bike rests against a stone wall, loaded up with all of my gear. Sunflowers are wilting. This was just a cool-looking house. The turn-off to Villa Cennina. The door to my room at Villa Cennina. Isn't that a wicked-looking candelabra? A close-up of the door to my room at the Villa. The coat of arms at the Villa. Exterior shot of Villa Cinnena. Everybody's bicycles parked along the wall at the villa. Across the road from the villa, a gravel road runs down with olive trees lining both sides. Grapes hang from vines across the road from the villa. I'm still wondering what these trees are. Just more roads, trees, grass. Setting up for wine tasting before dinner. Dara, Joanne, Steven, and Cindy snack and chat before wine tasting begins. Cindy, Paul, and Liz snack and chat while Nello and Claire look busy in the background. Brian and Paulette pay attention as Claire explains the routes for the next day's ride. David looks over the ride map while Geri looks on. Liz, Steven, Nello, and Claire are just hanging around. Same as the last picture, but David's concentrating harder. Paul passes the tray of prosciutto while David and Geri look on eagerly. Cindy doesn't look interested in eating.
