We went to San Gimignano yesterday for a day trip. It is a very small and beautiful town overlooking the Tuscan country side. The weather was amazing, so we just spent the day walking, sitting and people watching, and just taking in the views.
I love Tuscany!
Not sure what type of flower/plant it is, but it's pretty.
This was one of the coolest parts of the town. This is a medieval fountain from the 9th century where people got water from and did their laundry. There were also goldfish swimming in it.

Overall, San Gimignano is a lovely little town, but there really is not a lot to do. Two of my friends went to Siena the same day as well, which is a really good idea, but I had already gone to Siena a few weeks ago. Still, I absolutely love traveling around Tuscany!
Ciao!
Gen,
ReplyDeleteMom and I also loved San Gimingnano-at one time there were over 100 family towers throughout town; now there are about 13 that remain.
