San Gimignano

When we went to Tuscany, we stayed in an apartment in a vineyard. It's called agritourism, which means that you stay on a farm. We woke up in the mornings to find the valley clothed in fog and the sun burning it away like somebody pulling back the covers when he awakes. In each direction we looked there were spectacular views, but not as nice as the town of San Gimgnano in the distance. Below is the view from our front yard.

During the height of the tourist season, I imagine that it is clogged with people. We were there before the onslaught and found it charming.

While I live in a wonderful place, I long to get back to Europe.
