We were off in Tuscany visiting with the Costa Family this past weekend. And once again, we were overwhelmed with their hospitality. We ate and drank too much, but is that ever a bad thing? The kids played, ran around, and when it rained - created movies on the computer.
We were very good tourists and between gorging ourselves with food and wine managed to get out and see some of the surrounding area. Saturday we went to Pienza, on the way stopping to taste and purchase cheese. After walking through the village we stopped for lunch at Monticchiello and had an outstanding meal at a table with a fantastic view. The kids managed to eat a whole Fiorentino steak, a kilo in fact! Though it rained on and off all day, the thunderclouds managed to stay away till we were done eating. Sunday we were off to see a monastery near Chiusure were were treated to a full tour of the library. We had a supposed "light" lunch where the kids again ate another kilo of beef!

Wednesday the kids are finally back to school! And not a day too soon! The summer vacation in Italy seems to go on and on and on and on......
Ciao!
