The Chianti Field Trip

by Alexis Carter

Of course the jet lag continued and I only received 5 hours of sleep last night as we literally had to be up at the crack of dawn for the Chianti field trip. Our group met up in front of Santa Reparata School and we took a short walk to our private bus. The first stop on the winding out-skirts of Florence was the town called Greve in Chianti.

Here our group roamed the streets of the market and all took in the sights a sounds of the quaint town! Julia, Mary and I stopped in a cute coffee shop to grab a much needed iced latte! It definitely wasn’t complete without a croissant so we each got different ones to share.
My croissant hearly melted inmy mouth and left my stomach more than satisfied.
Of course it seems I can’t go anywhere on my trip and not get a good laugh... Julia was so eager to find stamps for her post card that once she obtained them she rushed to the nearest postal box.
