Adventures

It started to look like a beautiful day and since we've all been getting cabin fever from all the rain we decided to venture out.  We've been wanted to go to Vaglia, a small town outside of Florence for a while now to see this:

So we figure out what bus to take and go along our merry way.  The bus ride was really beautiful, we went up into the hills and got great views of Florence.  So we get to our stop, ask some old Italian men which way the park is  where "The Man" is located in.  They point us down a hill so we start walking.  At the bottom on the hill was the parking area for said park but no directions how to get to the park itself.  So we start walking down the road, it was pretty much a highway without a sidewalk.  At this point I'm thinking, this doesn't seem right, but my roommates are convinced we need to walk down the road to get to the park.

About 20 minutes later it starts raining.  We are clearly going in the direction of nothing so we decide to turn around.  We make it back to the parking lot to see the entrance for the park right across the street, but the gates are closed.  The sign informs us that the park will not be open until May.  Why the website/ old Italian men failed to tell us this is a mystery.  Anyways it was pretty funny in the end.
