The journey to Tuscany was an exciting one, to say the least. The mini-vans that we reserved turned out to be...well...maxi-vans. Ms. Darling had a smaller version, in blue. Stylish, as always. Needless to say, the kids were riding in style, which was good thing as it turned out to be a challenge to exit Florence. Once that was accomplished, we headed to the ever intimidating walled city of Monteriggioni for a delectable meal. The best pasta, hands down, ever. We all agreed. We then took a very long ride down to Montebelli, with a slight unwanted detour through Guincarico, a mountain town with VERY narrow, VERY steep streets. The students enjoyed this immensely. Couldn't get to Montebelli fast enough! We were welcomed by the warm staff, sweet dogs, and clouds of jasmine. For dinner we had personal pizzas cooked il forno, as well as a full antipasta bar. Best of all, we got a swim in the pool afterward!
