Podere del Cutignolo - Day 6: Parco della Maremma


Today, we did get an earlier start. We drove to the Parco della Maremma. When we stopped at the information desk, the woman we spoke to actually recommended against doing any of the hikes today. Due to last night’s storm, the paths were still very wet and muddy. Instead, we drove to the Park’s Marina di Alberese. Everyone was hungry, so first we found a snack bar near the beach and we had some panini for lunch. Afterwards, we changed into our swim suits by the car in the parking lot/forest and then enjoyed the waves on the magnificent natural beach.

We had timed the day perfectly. It was gorgeous when we were at the beach, then later in the day when we returned to the villa, the weather turned. At night, the rains finally hit our area -- we had a huge thunderstorm.

Selvaggia came over but Josh and I decided we did not want to go out in the weather. So we stayed home. We watched episodes of Curb your Enthusiasm in our room while Selvaggia read Avery a bedtime story.
