From February 25th-March 1st I visited Amy and her family in Italy! I arrived in Florence on Wednesday and immediately fell in love with the greatness that is Italian food! Amy took me out to a great restaurant my first night and then to her favorite little bar Kakuya!
The next day we took the train to meet up with Amy's parents who were renting the most amazing house in the Tuscany countryside. Amy's parents met us at the train and then, of course, we went and got MORE amazing italian food in Sienna before driving to the house. I had, hands down, the most delicious, heavenly gnocchi I have EVER consumed. hmmmm delicious. After dinner we drove to the house (after slightly getting lost). The house was AMAZING. The next day Amy's two friends from her program met us and we went to a little Italian town (which I know cant remember the name of... this is why you should not wait until two months after to blog) and bought wine and cheese. Then we went back to the house and had a little wine/cheese before our big pizza feast later that night! The house had a massive pizza (pictured) oven outside so we cooked delicious pizzas (also pictured) for dinner and then went into food coma!
Saturday we literally did not leave the house once. Instead we based our day on eating! I woke up and ate breakfast. Sat around, ate lunch. Watched High School Music 3 with the girls (yes we are in fact in college and watch HSM 3... and yes I put up pictures of this as well), then ate MORE cheese. For dinner the Lafittes had an amazing Italian cook come in to cook us a wonderful traditional Italian meal! Finally on Sunday, after gaining what felt like a million or so pounds, we took the train back to Florence and then I came back to Scotland!
