Today was our real first day in Tuscany. We did sleep in, again, but didn't really "sleep" during the night. Bugs. Lots of them. But you've heard enough.
We hung around the castle, playing tennis, bocchi ball and then swimming. The first pic is of Calvin doing a back flip off a small wall very near the tennis courts and pool.
Then this evening we drove over to the nearest town, which was holding its annual Frog Festival. It's very much like GermanFest for Canal Days, but in a very small town. They have a tent where they serve frog legs, wine, beer and even french fries. We, of course, had the frog legs and a bottle of bianco (white) wine (only $3.50!!!). Our intent was to also go on this station-by-station Italian meal, but we apparently didn't read the Italian poster well enough and didn't realize the ticket sales stopped well before we attempted our purchase.
Shut out, we came back to our castle apartment where I whipped up some delicious pasta and meat sauce and everyone is now going to bed very content. Sleep tight, mia famiglia, and keep your mouths shut tight!!
Buonanotte.
