This was a trip that I splurged on. It was a bit expensive for being only one day, but I couldn't leave Tuscany without riding on a Vespa. I was very happy when my mother decieded to go along with us, as well as her good friend Becky. They are a blast and I was glad to spend time with my mom. Up until the day of the weather was calling for rain all day. When the day came it was cloudy but not raining. Throughout the day it did get a bit cold, but there were only a few drops the whole day. At points it was even beautiful out. We were picked up in Florence, then driven to a farm in Chianti. I got my dog fill, which makes me very happy! There were about 6 dogs in total and almost 80 horse. There were a few cats too but they don't matter all that much.
When we were being given the scooters, my mother was not. She was worried about not being very good at driving, but they were not even going to let her try. So I offered my scooter just for her to try out on. She actually said no. Of all people my other said no they told me not to. Of course she did try and she did wonderfully. She even got to drive her own. Getting used to the scooters was pretty easy, getting used to the cars on the road, not as easy. We mostly took little dirt roads that had very few car, and some pretty wonderful views.
For lunch we stopped at a small restaurant that had no one else in it. The chef was so nice to us and completely adorable. He must have been almost 70 years old and gay. The food was so good. When we complimented him on it he showed us how to make it and gave us the recipe. On top of that we all enjoyed a bottle of champange for the newly wed couple in the group.
Afterward we headed to a small town within a castle to have a wine tasting and to look around. Despite the dreary weather, ever step of the trip was fun. I was so tired after the day that I was ready to sleep as soon as we were back. This trip was well worth it.
