We will add in more of Florence which is ALL OMG but today we left there and arrived in shangrila, so to speak. After leaving Florence -- in a CAR -- yea (and Bruce fits in it! yeaaa) we went to San Gimigano which is a preserved medieval city on a hill top and worthy of its rep ! A MUST for future visits. From there we had a rather mad dash about(65K up and down and all around) trying to find a COOP super to buy food and then to get it to ----------heaven. We are on top of the world in a medieval hill top "town" if you will, where we can see the sun rise and/or set -- that's how high. We are in a place with full kitchen, bed and full bath (and cable we don't touch) in a structure probably built before Columbus sailed boat! There is a full park near the pool and much more --- all for less than a common room. (How happy is skinflint Bruce!) We are thrilled, having done the helter skelter of Siena and Florence. With our own kitchen we were able to cook porcini mushrooms, pasta with spinach, etc and have it with a nice Brunello. Now we will sleep and hope the weather forecast for tomorrow is wrong. (rain)
Then, the wandering around the Tuscan hills begins.
CIAO !
