Still stuck but the power is on!

(Wednesday March 10 at 1230 pm) Hallelujah. The power, heat and water are back on. We are still farm-bound because of the mud on the road, but everything else is back to normal. The snow is melting quickly.

Our hosts made a huge lunch for us. We started with a bowl of ribbolita soup (veggie/bean soup with bread). After the soup they served a huge bowl of pasta and a bottle of wine. Thinking that was it, we were about to head back to the room when they brought out the focaccia bread and a platter of sausage and potatoes. Holy cow - way too much food. Then came the cake - this put us way over the top. Serious food coma.

Anyway, all is well and back to normal. Weather permitting, tomorrow we are off to Florence. We'll either take a day trip to Florence and stay here until Saturday as planned or will check out and stay in Florence for a few days. Will decide tomorrow.

It look so beautiful
I know it's tough when you're snowed in with no heat etc., but man it looks so amazing. Florence is awesome. Definitely recommend staying there a few days. Ciao

Scary
Hi, we are coming to San Gimignano on about the 24th April for nine days, I can only pray that the weather will be better by then as I am not packing any winter woolies! Sounds like you are having a great time.

A trip of a lifetime
Hi Michelle and Scott, Your Mother sent me your web site, and what a memorable trip you and Scott are having/had, and the blogs are first rate. My hat's off to you for transcribing the Italian names. I doubt that my daughter's husband, who is a 1st generation born Italian-American, could have done that good. Although you could have done without the snow, you did get a new pair of Italian boots to remind you of your trip to Italy. Take care. Uncle Merritt
