Off to Wine country, still raining. What gives? Guess a raining day in Chianti is better than a sunny day anywhere else. Great drive through Chianti. Lovely country. Caselinna for lunch. We walk around the town and grab lunch. We sit down with our wine, birra and panini. A woman at the table next to us asks if we could help them pick something to order. They don't speak italian. We are slightly annoyed by these americans. Panini is not that hard. Please. then we realize, holy crap this couple is the couple we met in Harry's in Venice. The loud americans with the other couple from Pennsylvania. Wow small world. We help them out against our best judgement. They are off to Raffa. Make a note we don't want to go there.
We find a vineyard. Fonerutili, taste taste, taste. Purchase. Beautiful grounds, great wine. life is grand.
We contniue to Sienna.
We arrive. Rain, rain, rain. Wow Piazza amazing. We can't go in the tower, to much rain and wet shoes are trouble in the bell tower. We need to experience the Piato. Local Horse race in city square. Looks like trouble, but could be entertaining. Maybe this is our next reason to celebrate in the US. July and August they run.
We leave Sienna. Get a little lost but no problem. We are heading back to the hotel.
We get in to town, grab dinner and to bed. We are tired. Hanging out with Italian Musicians is tiring.
