We're at a new farm - Poggio Antico, first started by Franciscan monks in the 1200s and still going - without the monks, although still with some religious fervour. There's a prayer room on the ground floor of our little house, with chairs gathered around a stove, and spiritual song books and Bibles. There's also a print of Jesus directly above Clara's bed and Roberto's collection of DVDs ranges from Ghandi to Maria Teresa, with the life of Moses chucked in for good measure. At least he doesn't (he as in Roberto, not Moses) encourage us to partake in these activities in any way. There was no work today as it was pouring it down for the entirety of the day. Roberto took us to Certaldo station, encouraging instead we do some tourism - he even wanted to give us some train fare money, Rob should have accepted!
It looks like it's raining tomorrow aswell - Roberto has suggested Pisa, and my head instantly shot up thinking "Hell's yeah" - after we'd just had a conversation about how we should stay at the ranch, preventing further spending.
Only have one more week and a half in Italy.
