After we got back from our tour of Tuscany we ended up taking another nap. Because of the decongestant I've been taking, its been making me very sleepy. I fell asleep on Nate every time we got in the car during the tour. It was funny. The roads here are pretty horrible and the drivers are even worse!! But somehow they have a flow that works for them. Its much different driving than in the US. And its mostly very very tiny vehicles and scooters!
After our awesome nap we decided to get ready to go to dinner. We decided to dress up tonight. I wore Allison's black dress and my heels. Nate wore his comfy golf pants and black AE polo. He looked very sharp! He even did his hair! He's gotten pretty good at it I must say.
He really wanted to try one of the restaurants directly across the river from our hotel. We had two to choose from...we decided on "Golden View Open Bar."
While we waited for a table they brought us two glasses of champagne. We finally got a table and the view was amazing. We could see where our hotel was and had a great view of Ponte Vecchio. There was actually a slide projection on the entire bridge. It was abstract type art/pictures they were projecting.
We ordered a bottle of wine that we had tried that day called Vernacia, when we visited the town of San Gimigiano. We also got a bottle of still water (its not customary to order tap water over here).
Nate ordered a grilled chicken breast and I had four cheese ravioli. The cheese sauce on the ravioli was spectacular. Nate used it to dip his chicken into. We learned that most wines taste much better after you take a bite of your food. After dinner we finished our wine while listening to the jazz band playing in the restaurant. It was an incredible place. We forgot our camera, so we didnt get any pictures, but we will surely remember this place!
We are waking up at 5 am for our 6:10 am train to Cinque Terre tomorrow.
