Tuesday, Anna (my good friend in the pensione) and her mother and a couple other girls and there mom’s invited me to go on a wine tasting! It was Hanna’s birthday so we thought why not! There was 8 of us: Myself, Hanna (miss 21 bday girl!), Nicole, Anna, Anna’s mom, Michelle and her mom, and the mom’s friend Ginny. Our tour guide was a younger woman named Monika who moved here in the late 70’s from Germany as a young adult, and hasn't left since! She was simply amazing. We went to 3 different vineyards to taste wine and olive oil! The olive oil was amazing. It was so green and flavorful, seriously unlike anything we have in the US. We had such a great time with all the girls, just laughing and drinking wine. Some of the moms and girls started pouring out their glasses after mid-sip because they knew we had alot of wine to get through. However, Hanna and I were going to make the best of our 50 euro and we drank every glass they gave us at each stop! It was simply fabulous. I emailed Monika and arranged her to give Mom and Dad a tour too because it was just a great time seeing Tuscany.
