Observations:
Some men’s bathrooms in Italy consist of nothing more
than a drain in the middle of the floor!
What happens if you have to... let’s move on; the menus are beginning to change a bit as we move south through the country - we noticed a parmesiano dish for the first time and ragu (red sauce) is beginning to appear too; salt is rarely put on the
table at restaurants, and surprisingly, pepper even less so; when you leave a
town, a sign indicates you’re crossing that border:
Entering
Leaving
In order to view enemies approaching from a long distance
away, hill towns were strategically built in medieval times throughout Tuscany
in high areas. Today many of these very
old towns still stand. We were able to
visit one on our way from Florence to Siena.
San Gimingnano has become a popular tourist attraction. We didn’t have much time to spend there as we
had to be in Siena for a very important date at 4:30 p.m. (stay tuned!).
San Gimingnano:
