Tuesday

Tuesday, we got up to take Andrea to the train station in Arezzo. After seeing him off, we went to see the historical center of Arezzo, which is where Life is Beautiful was filmed. It was really cool, and we spent most of the morning there. We had lunch (salami, cheese, and bread) in a park at the top while watching a gym class of Italian kids do all different track activities.

The we drove through the country out to see a few small towns, mainly Pienza, and the rest we pretty much drove through. We had some good gelato in Pienza. It was really cool to drive through the country because it was "typical Tuscany". It was also cool because there was nothing but feilds so every town that we were looking for, we could see from far away because it was the only buildings we could see around us.

We returned to Arezzo early that night and went to a resaurant to eat just some pasta. Afterward we went back to our villa and mom made a big salad and cauliflower, made with the fresh vegetables from the garden of our agriturismo. It was very good! :)
