Today was the first semi-cloudy, blustery day we’ve had since we started our travels. We didn’t really have a plan. We talked about going to the Nature Park (Parco della Maremma), but in reality, the kids seemed perfectly happy sitting around in their PJs watching movies.

| Magliano in Toscana |
In the end, Josh and I asked Selvaggia to come over – she made lunch for the kids while we took a drive into the countryside. Last night’s drive with the kids to Saturnia put us off from getting them in the car for another tour. We were headed for Scansano but stopped in Magliano, and liked it, so we decided to stay for lunch. And, a hardy, Tuscan lunch it was. Tagliatelle con cinghiale, pici amatrci and mailletone…we could hardly roll ourselves out for a passeggiatta afterwards. Like many Italian hillside towns, Magliano has an extensive wall surrounding it. But in Magliano, you can climb up and walk a part of the wall. We thought the kids might like to do it another day. We also discovered that there will be a concert in the town square on Saturday night, and the kids might like that too. It doesn’t start until just about 10pm…another reason to keep the kids on a late schedule.
Back at our villa, Olivia was in the pool, Charlotte was on the computer and Avery was watching "Stuart Little." Soon everyone was in the pool playing.
At night, we were treated to a fabulous light show – nature’s fireworks. In the Tuscan hills, we could see the lightening between the distant clouds. At our place, it never rained.
