more scenic drive!

best car ride of my life!

So last Friday, Sara and I went skiing with our Italian friend, Michele. He drove us to this mountain in Tuscany - beautiful! The drive was about 2 hours, and even if for some reason the mountain had been closed when we got there, it still would have been a great day. The drive was spectacular! I just wanted to jump out of the car and run all around - it was 2 glorious hours of rolling hills and vineyards, and grazing sheep and little hilltop villages that have been resting there since the beginning of time or close to it - amazing is the only word that comes to mind. And even in the winter everything is green! Michele said that in the summer the countryside is full of wild flowers. Anyway, here are few pics from the drive - I'll post mountain pics as soon as I get them from Michele! <3g (ps: and for all you americans, it's meee.KEL.ay. think the Italian version of Michael - NOT MICHELLE!) hahah

ps - the mist behind us? it's covering a lake!

We didn't have the masks on not 5 minutes when this girl from Barcelona was like - "can i get a picture with you?!" haha

It wasn't even that expensive!
So, I later found out that my sketch-ball roommate was actually taking a picture of the cute guy sleeping next to me. I feel stupid. haha but train pic!
