Day 5
This was our first full day in Certaldo and we started the day by going to Certaldo Alto which is a 5 minute drive up the hill/mountain whatever you want to call it. We had language class which basically we learned to ask what someone’s name is, where they live, and how are someone is. And also how to respond, also we got a brief history to how Italy became Italy. We then attempted to watch an art history movie which didn’t work out and instead we had an art history lecture which I have seen the same slideshow in my art history class with this same teacher, so i slept :) We then waited for like almost an hour to get the bus to our wine testing :) (the driveway to this place was like straight up and we had to climb this thing… so not cool. They showed us how to test it and everything! We got to taste 3 different wines (one regular one that was pretty good, another one that was really dry, and then the i think its called grappa where they take the dried grape skins and ferment them, its basically like liquor and smelled awful so I didn’t drink it haha) and a few olive oils and some sheep cheese. And daddy if you are reading this I actually like the sheep cheese haha cause you’re always talking about goats shenanigans, so it made me think of you. We got to see their horses and they had a brown one with a white diamond!!! I almost stole it haha since I am weird and have always wanted a horse like that ;D After that we stopped in this small city, in Tuscany we stopped by this photographers shop (his stuff was soooo amazingggg) but unfortunately they were mega expensive. Then we walked around and took pictures of the scenery, which I will have on facebook soon…. IT WAS SOOOO AMAZING! Its just like the movies but 10 times better. no joke! We then got back in the van for the 40 minute ride back to Certaldo, and the people here are crazy drivers, like northerners but mega worse. I got so car sick on the way home, it was awful. But I guess it was well worth it since I got some really good pictures today :D When we got back we had to climb up another steep hill that was made of rocks and had a creek running down in, oh and all of this in the rain. But we finally got to go to dinner where this lady showed us how to make stuff. We had a couple of dips, ( i ate one that was made of zucchini, cucumber, and cheese… be proud!) and then we got some pasta, and then some beef things that were amazingggggg :D yum i ate over half the plate for our table. Now we’re back at the villa and i’m listening to this annoying girl talk to her parents and be well annoying. She is also very touchy and won’t STOP TALKING TO MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. On a better note we get to sleep in late tomorrow…yum :D
