Lazy Sunday

Today was a great day! We got up and walked down to Cafe Polizianno and had a cappucino and enjoyed the beautiful view they have and then walked up to a ristorante for lunch. Today I had pici alla carbonara con asparagi...which was the best thing I've had so far! The pici is like a thick spaghetti and is supposedly a tuscan specialty...the sauce was peppery and delicious. Tossed in it was bacon with very fresh and crispy asparagus. Later on we went up the the wine cellar and checked out all of the wine and had a tasting... next was gelato again (not that I needed anything else lol) and this time I had chocolate with chocolate chips. We sat and ate in the town square and people watched for a little while.  Oh, and we also went into the duomo where Edward from Twilight walked out of.  This town is eating the Twilight stuff up! They have special "Twilight" menus and posters everywhere showing where they filmed. Tonight we went to dinner at the regular place we meet Sunday through Thursday and started off with some pasta con pesto, then had green beans, pork, and peas with marinara sauce. To finish we had a cake with banana cream and nuts.  I'm fat and happy but know I will work it off tomorrow walking to our first class tomorrow! School is at the very bottom of the hill and and we are pretty much at the top.  I can't complain though because we have it pretty good at this apartment and its right next to our restaurant.  I cannot wait to get an SD card tomorrow! Pray that they have the right one for this camera! If they don't I will probably shed a tear because we are going on our first trip to the Vatican on Tuesday and I know Billy will want to see many pictures, and everyone else! Well ciao for now! I'll write later if I think of more to share...I am posting a picture of my pici and a link to a video I took before dinner. The video is of a parade going through the town's main road (the road we live on) and from what our director told us, I think it was a parade for a patron saint of Montepulciano. I think it was ok to film, but some of the people walking looked like they were stabbing me with their eyes.

Ciao!
