ciao from tuscany. we rented a car this morning in florence and brett was my knight in shining armor as he drove through the very crowded streets of the city to get us to the highway. we drove for about an hour (we may have had a few wrong turns here and there), but then made it to our villa. it is absolutely beautiful. there is a great view, a pool, and the most beautiful terrace outside our room. we are very pleased with the place. we don't have internet there so i am actually writing this from a cafe in greve, a small town nearby.
things are going well, and most exciting of all, we've been married one year today. we're having a four course dinner at the villa tonight. we will be back in touch on tuesday. no worries until then, we're doing great. love you all.
