Only hiccup so far was hot Sergio refusing to start when we stopped in Lucca to find the hotel. 10 minutes cooling whilst we grabbed a coke and off he went delivering us safely to our first destination and a well earned beer.

Day 4 - Rome - Pisa - Montecatini
... boys were welcomed over the public address and had a parade with other youth teams on the field at half time.
After the match the boys played some touch on the field. We then headed off to our hotel in Montecini. A very nice town with narrow streets and typical Tuscan architecture.
The boys had some free time after supper to walk around the town and explore.
Tomorrow we are off to ...

School Day: Time for some homework
A rest day turned into a catch up day. Kids got to sleep in and relax in the morning and then catch up on some journaling. Rome was crazy busy and they needed time to take in what they had learned in Rome before we start the next leg of our journey in Tuscany.
Lots of naps today for David and I.
David took the kids out for a short drive around the countryside. They found a castle. They ended up in Empoli, the bigger centre in our area.

From Rome to Florence to Tuscany!

My mom has our phone number at the Villa if anyone needs us.
I'm trying to go on Facebook quickly when I'm in a bigger centre to update where we are so that you know that we are still alive :)
