Siena, San Gimignano, and Pisa

We enjoyed a very full day bus trip, 12 hours almost, visiting sights in Tuscany. We were just 1 day after the last summer Paleo, race around the Campo, so we saw the evidence, the compacted soil on the brick and some of the barriers still in place. We toured the marble covered cathedral there! Since the stop in Siena was punctuated by a vigorous thunderstorm, we were a bit late leaving the city, but the weather eased so it was pleasant for our wine tasting / pairing lunch at a San Gimignano winery and then visit to the old fortified city. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to an overlook where you could see the towers and the city skyline, you will have to look that up! Our view was from the narrow streets! Our last stop was for Pisa, and I realized the miracle mile, the walled cathedral complex with the Baptistry and leading tower, is all I’ve ever seen of Pisa in 3 or 4 trips there! But an iconic image you can’t miss in Tuscany, so we went so Kathy could experience it as well! We just couldn’t climb it, like we did with Malik! No time!
