Kid day in Collodi

Today was our last day in Tuscany, and we'd pretty much hit all our
priority stops earlier in the week, so we decided to head to Collodi,
where there is a lack of ancient ruins. Collodi is the hometown of
the author of the story Pinnochio. Like any good town with a claim to
fame, they found a way to capitalize on it, and the good tourists (and
parents) that we are, spent our hard earned $$ in 'Pinnochio Park'.
It was interesting and although all the signs were in Italian, we are
pretty sure Disney left some key points out of the movie. (a crab?
Pirates?) It also turns out that our kids, especially G don't really
actually know much about Pinnichio, and trying to explain what we
remembered to them made the story come off a little bizzare. "...and
then he made some bad choices and, um, apparently turned into a
donkey. And then I guess he got swallowed by a big fish, yes sort of
like Jonah, but don't worry, it all turns out okay in the end..."
Anyway, the kids seemed to enjoy it, so that was good. The weather
was unbelievable again, thank goodness. We are hoping it will be nice
at Cinque Terre as we visit there tomorrow through the 4th.
Ciao!
