Buongiorno!
After trains, trains, some more trains, and a very expensive and surprise cab ride, we are in the Tuscan country side. A bit of a shock after Paris with all the nothing that is happening, but it sure is beautiful. We're stuck without a car because I guess in Italy they roll up the streets on Saturday afternoon, and don't unroll them until Monday. Everything is closed because the pope is watching. Not sure what we're going to eat or how we will get there, but whatever. We are going to need some coffee though, or there will be an international incident.
