Week 4: Tuscany Getaway

The week has finally arrived for our Tuscany adventure. We drove 5 hours from Grado to Tuscany early Saturday morning. When we finally arrived, we pulled up to an amazing villa on top of a hill that overlooked San Gimignano and the beautiful Tuscan landscape. We arrived around 3 in the afternoon and had nothing planned for the day so we were all able to relax finally after 3 long weeks of school. The villa had a pool with chairs around it so we all changed into our bathing suits and went swimming and hung around the pool. We sometimes get time when it is nice to go to the beach in Grado, but it was so relaxing to have no worries ahead of us for the week and to just relax without a worry in the world.
After the pool we all showered and changed and sat out on the patio enjoying the view and all hanging out. Once it was time for dinner we went inside and enjoyed a 4 course meal that was delicious but so filling. Our antipasto was a cheese plate, the first plate was pasta, the second plate was steak and for dessert we got these little puff pastries that had powdered sugar on them. All of it was so good. We all headed up for bed after that to prepare for our busy day the next day in Pisa and the upcoming week.
