After Cinque Terra, Team America cruised back to ms. clio (our beautiful rental car) and headed off to firenze (florence), italy. We have been staying at Anthony Pavlovic and Nick Agnellos apartment here (two of our LXA brothers from usd studying abroad out here. Thursday and Friday entailed cruising around Florence checking out all the tourist sites and then going out to dinner with the usd crew and having quite the night life with everyone. We went to Dantes the first two nights which was a good italian restaurant, but the reason why we went because its all you can drink wine... and lets just say that there were a lot of americans there. Saturday was the most excited day because a large group from usd cruised with Team America for wine tasting in Chianti, Italy. The day involved walking through the vineyards and olive fields of Chianti checking out the different types of grapes and olives to make wine and olive oil. We had a afternoon feast trying out wines at an italian villa on one of the vineyards. A little trivial about Chianti--- supposedly the background of the mona lisa is Chianti.
Florence has been a great time and we thank the usd florence kids for taking us in and showing us a great time. Nick Agnello, Anthony Pavlovic, Gino and Henry.... thanks for giving us a couch to pass out on.
Tomorrow, we are driving up to meet with Brian Botsford (our fourth member of Team America) in milan and then heading off to Ibiza for five days.... wish us luck
