Rest Day - sort of.

Today was our rest day.  We all slept in which means rising times from 7:50 to 11:00 am.  Espresso to start the day - though we need to get some real coffee rather than the vacuum packed coffee we picked up at the supermarket. After we figured out how to plug in the toaster we had some delicious multi-grain toast (well, Laurie and I did).  

About 2:00 we decided to head to a local site - Castello di Monteriggioni. It's a local Castle on a hill with a small settlement/town inside the walls.   The kids went up on the walls to take photos and look at the local scenery.  So quaint.  We figured, since it was Sunday, we needed to at least step into a local church.  Today's was from the 13th century.



Afterwards we were supposed to stop and get a few more items from the supermarket only to find out they aren't open on Sundays.  

This evening we went to a local Pizzeria recommended by the owners of our house.  I have to say it was the best pizza I remember ever having.    Now we are all relaxing as we see if a Netflix movie will be possible over the slow internet connection. 

Here's another shot of home right now.
