Casolare Le Terre Rosse San Gimignano

We arrived from Lucca just in time for a sublime sunset... it was like the sky was on fire!! See photos!!<br>I was a bit pooped so I opted to stay in the scoobs reading and relaxing while Kim headed into the village to scope it out. <br>Next morning started with a beautiful sunrise which was quickly replaced by some storm clouds. Fortunatly the storm passed over without parting with a drop of rain and we had sun again when we both headed ...

Hello everyone,<br>We had such fun today!! The square had it's first ever market day or flea market. It was filled with cheeses which by the way Percino was our favorite and the fresh sliced procuitto was unbelievable. We just walked around all day. The first part of the day we did two loads of wash and dry which cost $18 us dollars. Then we had wine free and paid and had a great time. We then came back to ...

... the knee. Very, very chic and way out of Missouri league. Anyway, we will be here tomorrow and since we took pictures of almost anything worth seeing we will send what we have today and probably not have much tomorrrow. Oh, but tomorrow in Palio Campo square it is market day, aka flea market. All the tables were set up today so that will be interesting and we will be doing some wash. Talk to you all tomorrow and signing out for now......<br>Love Mick and Lisa

... to the table. We strolled to our seats, which were at a table for four with two others who had arrived earlier (part of the Il Latini culture), and gazed above at the endless swine rumps hanging from the ceiling. The table had a huge bottle of half full red wine and the first course was nothing but pork in various forms. Needless to say, this wasn't the best culinary choice for Kate's taste, and she did her best. She asked for no ...

... be becoming of them to let a group of younger people drink the city's prized wine from plastic cups right out in front of their establishment. We recognized that in a town swarming with tourists for much of the year, upholding reputation was key to successful business, and we didn't argue out of respect. Regardless of the seating arrangements, we had a wonderful time sipping from our cups and watching the passerby. <br><br> Then it was on to Sant' Andrea in ...

I thought vacations were about sleeping in and eating a lot... guess not when we got a wake up call at 6am to head off to San Gimignano. We could sleep in but then we would miss our FREE breakfast so we got up and took advantage of ham, cheese, &amp; croissants. We all piled on a bus with Tara &amp; Sean and about 40 other rambunctious folks. Im telling you they are fun and suprisingly love to drink anything. We got to the town of ...

... the officer where we could get the application he told us we needed to go to the immigration office, not in that building, at 8:00 the next day. The next day we spent 2 hours in line/waiting for our number to be called and got the application. We did not have all the information/documents we needed to fill it out at the office, so we quickly went back to the apartment we were renting and grabbed what we needed. When we returned to turn in ...

... but I don't think it will last 12 days! On to Volterra on Saturday, bagging another Tuscan hill top town although not as hard work as Munroes and with more ice cream. Our early start was thwarted by a road closed for a car race. We had another lovely lunch in a little bar before retiring to the park to write the diary where we were kept entertained by the local school children having a water fight of an epic ...

... I took a walk for a short while since I didn't want to go to the room just yet. I could have walked from the restaurant. While waiting for our taxi, a woman from Ireland came up to us telling us she was surprised that she had to go outside to smoke her cigarette. It was obvious she had a little too much to drink. She even stated the food was "just okay, I've had better." We just thought she was a little crazy with that comment. Florence to Arezzo ...
