On our way there, we walked through a little alleyway where school children were being let out for the day and families were there picking them up (no one was in a car; everyone walked or rode bikes). It was a very cute, Italian, everyday scene, and we enjoyed watching it unfold.

... part of the fun!

Armed with umbrellas and maps we headed off to San Gimignano and Volterra.
