Leaving Rome...off to Florence!

We had another tour with Francesco today…and it was the best one! We drove about 60 minutes outside of Rome to the village of Overtia. We spent the afternoon walking around the town, shopping, and taking pictures outside a beautiful church.

The next stop was for lunch. Francesco told us to eat a light lunch…but we were shocked with how much food they gave us. We prob ate 10-12 different courses of food. The cook gave us a sampler of all different meats, cheeses, etc. Then they ended the meal with Tiramisu.

Our final stop of the tour was to a small village called Civita di Bagnoregio which only has about 20 people living in it. To get to the town you have to walk up a very steep winding road(pic below). We all made it to the top of the town…with a few stops along the way up. It was a very cool town! We got the chance to taste some of the best olive oil we have ever eaten.

Tonight we walked around Rome for a while and window shopped. Valenino, Gucci, D & G, were just some of the shops we looked into it…but knew we couldn’t afford to walk into! After that we ate at a restaurant outside and enjoyed some Cosmo’s and Beer for the guys.

Carter was in great mood today…just went to bed about 15 minutes ago. Kenny has been teaching him how to wave and to "try and crawl", and we have gotten Carter laughing a bunch the last few nights. It’s fun to see his personality start to come out

We leave for Florence in the AM so I am off to bed

Ready for the tour!!

Once we got back to the hotel Carter needed some internet time-- we were hoping to chat with Olivia, Kendall and Tanner but it was a little to early for their parents to be home from work... =)
