This morning we awoke and spent a leisurely morning at Agritourismo Marciano. After breakfast we sat outside in our favorite spot so Sister D could sketch for awhile. After about an hour and a half, and an excellent watercolor of the building under Sister Ds belt... we decided to head into town.
Siena. We are perpetually lost inside its narrow maze of streets. This afternoon was no different as we spent the day exploring, eating gelatto and generally wasting time until our dinner back at the vineyard.
Dinner. Lets skip ahead to dinner...
Christaan our host had, at my request, promised us a traditional tuscan dinner with wine tasting and food from their organic farm. At 8pm Sister D and I, plus two friends we had made at breakfast and two other couples arrived for dinner. Christaan and his father had prepared a feast for us! Four courses, plus wine that never ended. Three hours of family style dining with the family of Agritourismo Marciano and its 8 guests. Four of us spoke English, and four spoke Italian... yet we had no issues communicating. We made such good friends that one couple offered to drive us to Pisa in the morning. I wish we could have dinner like this every night!
