Flooding in Tuscany

It hasn't rained in I don't know how long, so the combination of heavy rains with a lack of attention on behalf of the politicians of Grosseto in cleaning the sewer system left Grosseto slammed with high water and flooding. For the first time in the 15 years I've been here, schools were c l o s e d!

So, this morning we took a family field trip to assess the damage done.
Sofia broke out her notepad and Jordan actually left his room to have a look at the Ombrone River next to our home.
