Week 41 - Day trip to S. Casciano

This week we had two birthday parties - one for Sofia with her riding friends at the barn restaurant and one for Carlotta with her classmates at Mc Donalds. We had promised her a birthday party with her friends in Italy (her birthday was in July) and finally in October we did it. But the nicest thing of the week, I think, was our day trip to S. Casciano dei Bagni in Tuscany together with our friends. It's a small village with a lovely scenery over the Tuscan hills and there are hotsprings, both free ones outside in the nature and a spa. We went to the free baths and had a pick nick lunch there with red wine and it was so relaxing. We spent a few hours there in the warm water in good company chatting and laughing. Then it started raining, so we went up to the village and waited for the rain to stop drinking a coffee in the bar. We had a walk in S. Casciano and went to a wine cellar to buy some wine and then we went to see another village called Cetona before driving back to Rome. The only bad thing about the day was that, unfortunately, there had been a car accident on the motorway which had caused a traffic jam so the trip back home took quite a while.
