Welcome to Tuscany

David!

The living room in our villa

Whipping it up on stage in Montepulciano

Like I mentioned in my last blog, we got up nice and early to go to the Accademia Museum to see Michaelangelo's David. It was so fascinating! I loved all the different old sculptures in the museum, and I was so intrigued by the different art work! When it was time to leave I didn't want to go because I just wanted to keep looking at the art as if I was hypnotized! After the museum we stopped at a cafe for breakfast. I had the most a delicious chocolate croissant ever!!!! There was cocoa covering the top and it melted in your mouth (if that's possible) along with the chocolate. We then left our apartment and Florence and took the train to Tuscany. On the train I got a super bad migraine:(((((. Ahhhhh....migraines suck so bad! I couldn't even see anything and it felt like assassins were taking over my head and stabbing their most deadly weapons into my brain!!!! Once our stuffy, two-hour, hot sauna train arrived in Tuscany we were gonna pick up our car. But you see, the problem was our train arrived at 12:56 and the car place closed for lunch at 1:00 and didn't open again until 3:30!! Of course our train got in late, so we missed getting our car! This meant we had to just wait outside the train for almost three hours and I still had my migraine!! I just laid down on the marble bench and tried to sleep the whole time. So many Italian men were coming up and asking me if I needed help. They are so nice!!!!!!!!! Once we finally got our car, dad drove along the beautiful rolling hills and farmland until we got to our villa in Tuscany. Our villa is located in the hills outside of a little village called Montepulciano. We are surrounded by vineyards and there are a few other villas here with other people. We even have our own pool up here and a techno gym!! Finally my migraine was decent enough for me to think straight so once we got here I went swimming! I met two new girls (Skylar, aged 13 and Chloe, aged 16) from Washington, DC!! I swam and played in the pool with them and we instantly became friends. They are so nice!! Also the two younger Italian boys who live here are awesome!! One of them (Franco, aged 11) speaks English and is crazy!!! He drops spicy hot mixed tapes and loves rapping! I was automatically in love!!!!!!!!!! We played soccer with all our new friends until dinner! For dinner we went into the village and just stopped at the first cheap place we saw because we were so tired and hungry. It wasn't that good but that's ok, at least we something to eat!! We got home and I was going to try and find fireflies but I was way too tired!! Oh well, tomorrow!!!!! Stay tuned for more posts and creep it real-mimirockzzz king Julian.
