Happy Thanksgiving! No turkey this year, but lots of Italian goodness. Today we checked out of Agriturismo Marciano in Siena and spent one last day meandering through Tuscany. We won't soon forget arguing over the map (often, even with GPS), missing a turn (often), almost ripping off the rearview mirrors, and avoiding suicidal motorcyclists as they weaved in and out of traffic (at every light). We explored two gorgeous hill towns on our way to Florence. Volterra is a 2,000 year old Etruscan town--a true gem surrounded by an ancient wall and devoid of touristy shops. San Gimignano is a 13th century Tuscan hill town known for its stone towers, and is scenic but very touristy. We saw lots of sights and ate lots of authentic Italian food today...but no turkey. Jackson is starting to get the sniffles, so we're hoping his rest at San Gim in the car today will help.
