I feel so well rested! Dave and I spent the weekend with his cousin Catherine and her family in Santa Vittoria in Matenano, Italy. They have a beautiful house overlooking rolling hills of the countryside. We got treated to a day at the beach and a couple of home-cooked Italian meals. Plus, Dave and I had so much fun hanging out with the girls :)

We had another small mishap with the car while in Greve in Chianti a few days ago - a flat tire. This wasn't as exciting as the incident 3 days ago, but we still lost two hours waiting for a mechanic to put on the spare (the instructions were in French). We had to exchange the car (again!) the next day in Siena. Hopefully that last incident for awhile...

Flat tire :(

Aside from Santa Victoria, we probably did a bit too much driving and got lost too often. Still, we loved the wine tasting and tour at Castello di Verrazano, our dinner in Panzano, and the towns of San Gimignano, Siena, and Assisi.


Post-dinner in Panzano in Chianti. This was taken right outside the restaurant at around 9pm.
