Sorry I could not say what I did yesterday. I was super busy! The people I talked about yesterday their names are Mike, Helen, Rob, Elizabeth and Ben. Ben is a little kid and he is one year old. He likes to scream real loud at 6 in the morning. Rob is funny and has the most cool stories about his job. Elizabeth is also super duper nice and she can’t go to all the hill towns with us because she has to take care of Ben. Helen is very nice and is moving and HATES her job so she is going to quit. Mike is super duper funny and he never seems to be in a bad mood. Helen and Mike never wake up early.

Yesterday we went to San G. It was very beautiful. My mom went into a church with everybody else but Rob and I stayed behind. Daddy said there’d be good gift shops, but their wasn’t. The gelato (I had berry) was very good. Then I started to feel jet lagged and super tired, and wanted to go back. So we walked down a road, and I said we should go to the other road, because I knew it had gift shops, but dad said a different road, and so we went down that road, and there were no gift shops.

We were all really thirsty, so on the way home we stopped at a gas station and got some drinks. My mom accidentally got me a very caffeinated ice tea, and a chuppa chew, a special lollipop. At the airport I saw chuppa chews bigger than a baseball. This one wasn’t that big.

We started driving home. Mom said we should go a different way than the GPS system said. So we did. Then we got stuck behind a tractor pulling a wagon full of grapes for wine. We were driving through vineyards and past old castles and it was really pretty. Eventually we got back to the villa.

We went swimming. The pool feels like minus 30 degrees. But it’s refreshing if you jump in. When you jump in your feet get all numb because it’s so cold. Then Ben and Rob came to the pool. Ben is super cute and can swim, only a little bit. His head goes under and everything. Ben started laughing hysterically when Rob shot his mother with a little squirt frog. Everytime she screamed, Ben laughed and laughed. Dad threw me in super duper high on my belly, and it hurt, a little, but I went super far out there.

Then we went to a restaurant and had dinner. There was all of these animal skulls and horns and guns hanging from the walls. There was a wild boar, too. It was really cool. The steaks were like two inches thick and they weren’t cooked very much. They were all bloody, the way people here like them. (I had one bite.)

Back at the villa, there’s like a million locks and bars on every single door. It’s really weird. The villa is like four hundred or five hundred years old.

That’s all for now. We’re going to Florence today for museums. Maybe gift shops, if dad doesn’t pick the streets.
