We started the day walking to the car rental pick up. Along the way, we stopped to get some Italian coffee. I asked the server if he spoke English and he said of course! So, I ordered a latte and Grant ordered coffee. Wow, we really didn't do our research. He brought out hot milk for me and one sip of the strongest espresso you have ever had for Grant. We combined the two to make a coffee milk creation. We now learned that a cappuccino means latte and cafe Americana means coffee. We should be set.
Driving the rental car was quite an experience for Grant. People here are so aggressive with their driving. He did a great job weaving in an out of streets and managed not to hit any pedestrians! We drove through Tuscany to a few small cities. I will let the pictures do the talking.

Love you both,

Now you know what I went through when I first came to USA before I knew anyone or spoke the language.
It's tough but fun.
