We made it last night to Todi, Italy, after about 6 hours of driving (yes, we do have our own car now). Our hotel here is not bad, but we only have 2 twin beds. Like last week, we have a grocery store just across the street, which is really great. I think most of the tournament hotels have good breakfast buffets in the mornings, which makes things easier for me. It is beautiful here as well. There are amazing hills and fields and it looks just like I have always pictured the Italian countryside to look. There are some really old city walls around the original city with 4 arches leading inside. A local was telling us some history today, and it was fascinating. Maybe we can check it out tomorrow....
Today Dann and Brian both played qualifying singles matches. Neither of them turned out too well! Sign-in for doubles will be tomorrow. On the way back to the hotel, we stopped at a little cafe, and I had pizza with sliced potatoes on top. It was actually really good! I think I have eaten pizza or pasta every day we have been here. For the first time in my life, I am wishing I had more vegetables to eat!
Another thing I am enjoying about Italy is the gelato...I usually get plain chocolate, and it is sooo good!
