Day 48: San Giminano, Italy

A day in medieval Tuscany

We decided we needed to get out of Florence for a day to see the country side and just get away from crowds. We were planning on going to Sienna, but after reading a bit we realized that it was just a smaller, slightly less crowded Florence. Thus San Giminano, a small medieval village, in the Tuscan countryside. Supposedly the population was about 6000, but we saw nothing but tourists, however, the village retained its “quaintness” and we had a relaxing day. The bus trip there and back displayed the typical Tusancy countryside you see in the photos and was really beautiful.
