sorry these are all jumbled, but it's more exciting that way right!?!

Some colorful lichen in San Gimignano

An aerial view of my bus stop, Piazza del Mercato.  It's also called "La Tartarugone", which literally mean "big tortoise" because the roof looks like a big turtle!  See it??
Market in San G.  All these baskets were full of every delicious dried fruit, candied fruit, marinated olives and mozzarella balls, ecc, that you could ever want.

La Torre in Piazza del Campo, Siena

Maraya and I in San Gimignano

Me in the Piazza, drinking wine of course

Mattia and Niccolo; don't let those adorable Italian smiles fool you!

In San Gimignano, looking out over the countryside.


Texture of the wall in San G. This city has a very warm atmosphere, the stones must soak up all the sun and then it emanates from them all year round.

Back in Siena, young and old alike frolic in the Piazza del Campo when the sun comes out!

Good friends, Maraya (from LC, orginally from San Fran.), Robyn (from Colorado), Lisa (from Ohio).
