It was Independence Day for us expatriates, so we got together with some other
Americans who decided to take group photographs
../../../Sabbat/Pics/07.04.00July4thInTuscany//P7040001
until the rain came. The Italian dogs thought that celebrating meant getting into our car
../../../Sabbat/Pics/07.04.00July4thInTuscany//P7040002
../../../Sabbat/Pics/07.04.00July4thInTuscany//P7040003
until Michael could coerce them
../../../Sabbat/Pics/07.04.00July4thInTuscany//P7040004
into leaving.
All this discussion made us hungry so we walked up
../../../Sabbat/Pics/07.04.00July4thInTuscany//P7040005
to Centanni's
../../../Sabbat/Pics/07.04.00July4thInTuscany//P7040006
where Jane
../../../Sabbat/Pics/07.04.00July4thInTuscany//P7040007
Lucy
../../../Sabbat/Pics/07.04.00July4thInTuscany//P7040008
Caroline
../../../Sabbat/Pics/07.04.00July4thInTuscany//P7040009
Michael
../../../Sabbat/Pics/07.04.00July4thInTuscany//P7040010
Suzanne
../../../Sabbat/Pics/07.04.00July4thInTuscany//P7040011
Benjamin
../../../Sabbat/Pics/07.04.00July4thInTuscany//P7040012
David
../../../Sabbat/Pics/07.04.00July4thInTuscany//P7040013
and Sarah
../../../Sabbat/Pics/07.04.00July4thInTuscany//P7040014
had insalata mista
../../../Sabbat/Pics/07.04.00July4thInTuscany//P7040015
ricotta ravioli with spinaci e ragu
../../../Sabbat/Pics/07.04.00July4thInTuscany//P7040016
proscuito e melone
../../../Sabbat/Pics/07.04.00July4thInTuscany//P7040017
and some unidentified pasta dishes
../../../Sabbat/Pics/07.04.00July4thInTuscany//P7040018
../../../Sabbat/Pics/07.04.00July4thInTuscany//P7040020
that we managed to finish
../../../Sabbat/Pics/07.04.00July4thInTuscany//P7040019
to the satisfaction of our waiter
../../../Sabbat/Pics/07.04.00July4thInTuscany//P7040021
After lunch, Lucy and Jane did their rabbit performance
../../../Sabbat/Pics/07.04.00July4thInTuscany//P7040022
../../../Sabbat/Pics/07.04.00July4thInTuscany//P7040023
../../../Sabbat/Pics/07.04.00July4thInTuscany//P7040024
../../../Sabbat/Pics/07.04.00July4thInTuscany//P7040025
and read the Italian newspaper
../../../Sabbat/Pics/07.04.00July4thInTuscany//P7040026
after which we made our way to see this girl
../../../Sabbat/Pics/07.04.00July4thInTuscany//P7040027
who gave us tasty gelato at cheap prices.
We spent the rest of the afternoon sitting around the pool too mellow to engage and
photography. Dinner was at a pizzeria in Bagno a Ripoli but unfortunately we forgot to
bring the camera so you will have to imagine how the very sweet waiter looked and what
happened in the park after dinner.
