Chianti and Prada

Today was shopping day…or at least was suppose to be. We got up early and headed to Montevarchi, which was about a 2 ½ hour drive to find the Prada outlet mall. We drove around for ever trying to find it, and finally pulled into a gas station to ask. It was literally out in the middle of nowhere in the back of a big industrial warehouse building. I was excited….in we went….and sadly, out we came empty handed. I found a few nice pairs of shoes, but sadly they didn’t have them in my size. What a disappointment. I was hoping for a loot full of Prada, but really wasn’t interested in much. The deals weren’t as good as I thought they would be either. All in all, a disappointing adventure.
On the bright side, we had to drive through the Chianti wine region to get there, which was absolutely beautiful. Stopped for a nice late lunch on the way back in Radda, a small wine village, and picked up a bottle of wine to bring home. I definitely got my fill of vineyard countryside on this drive. The scenery was absolutely amazing!
