Vespas and Vino

Friday morning Christina, Laura, Sean, Keagan, Tucker, Kiki, Chloe and I woke up and met a man from a Chianti wine tour company in San Marco. He drove us out to Chianti and on the way we picked up his son Joseph. Joseph is three, so was obviously a big hit for those of us girls. We absolutely loved him and he loved the attention.
When we got to Chianti we got our helmets on and were given our vespas. I got a yellow one (yes!) and they had us drive around the little property to practice before we went out on the roads. We all had it down pretty well and headed out. There weren't many cars out at all, so that really wasnt a concern. I picked up driving it pretty quickly and really enjoyed riding it. We stopped at a tiny town with 4 homes, 1 restaurant and 1 church in it for a little snack. Chloe and I went into the church, as we always do, had our chats with God and lit candles for friends back at home.
We got back on the road and drove to a huge fort/castle. We walked around inside, took lots of pictures, and then we were led into a little winery. There, one of the guides talked to us about the wines and we tasted about 3 different kinds. Sean bought a bottle, and Chloe and I were tempted but decided against it.
We got back on our vespas for the last leg of the journey back to the place we picked the vespas up. Then they put us back in the van, and took us over to a restaurant near a lake. They fed us tons of food and tons of wine. Bottomless wine for that matter. We all drank quite a bit, to say the least. The food was delicious and so was the wine. We ate and drank and then walked around by the lake. The guides packed us back into the van and drove us back home to our pensione. We all fell right to sleep and woke up for dinner at about 9. We went to dinner, and came home, exhausted.
I got on skype and saw my mama, aunt Lisa, and cousin Caroline. I was so happy to get to see them and we had a great chat.
I fell right to sleep, so content.
