Monday, Carissa and I went to get a cappuccino after doing a Jillian workout video for the first time since we've been here. (We used water bottles for makeshift weights) The cafe owner ended up giving us samples of wine along with a TON of pizza and sandwich samples...of course this happens after we actually worked out haha. He also attempted to help our Italian which sort of worked. It was one of our better encounters with the locals in the Castiglion Fiorentino area and provided us with an opportunity to attempt an Italian conversation in a relaxed setting as opposed to a busy retail outlet store. We left with 2 pastries each to take home with us (think he may have been cleaning out his leftovers haha but they were still just as delicious)

Here are some random pictures from the past week or so that have not been uploaded yet...

 these are kitkat bars that mimic the "Kinder Bars" which are really good with a vanilla-ish creamy inside on a cookie crust covered in chocolate

pasta lunch

Our Valentine's Day treat for dessert. We found out that every Wednesday is dessert day which is very big news!

Happy Valentine's Day! <3
