Yesterday we enjoyed the Cetona Saturday market and actually purchased a few things using our rudimentary Italian. We are getting pretty self-sufficient in getting our basic needs met with wild hand gestures and a few words. Note Janna sitting pretty with a cappucccino in the square at Montepulchiano. For those of you wanting to know, this is the town featured in the Twilight movie New Moon...you'll see both David and Spring in photos under the famous clock tower if you scroll through the photos (see above). The drive there and further to Pienza was through rapidly greening hills, spotted with tulips and daffodils. Spring (the season) is in full force here and everyday has been warm and delicious. Last night we joined David and Shan's friends at a Napolitano pizzaria for a wonderful evening of loud Italian and English conversation...oh, and delicious pizza. Spring (the graddaughter) wowed everyone with the Italian she's been rapidly learning from David, Shan and practically everyone we meet.
Love all the photos and stories! I think Italy suites you all very well.
