First item on the list for the week was to make some progress with our residence papers. After trying unsuccessfully to get our Australian documents translated we headed back to the local government office, but the nice English-speaking women we dealt with before wasn’t working that day.
We left. I’m starting to realise we’re going to be seeing a lot of this building.
We decided to commiserate with lunch at a local deli (and somehow in the excitement of it all bought half a kilo of prosciutto in the process).
There was snow forecast for the next day (for the first time in years), so weren’t sure if the kids would be going to school.
When we woke up there was some light snow falling, but not enough to build up on the ground so there was no snow day. I did however get a chance to live out my Rocky IV fantasies some more.
By the afternoon though, the snow was getting heavier.
We crossed our fingers for a snow day.
The next day there was snow on the ground!
But school was still open so we got ready and headed to the car to defrost it.
And write “I ♥ Siena” in the snow.
After dropping the kids at school we decided to head up into the hills to see more of the snowfall.
We ended up at Castellina in Chianti where we stopped for hot drinks before heading home.
