- San Gimignano and Monteriggioni, Italy
(We must make it out to the rolling Tuscan hills, outside of Florence this time, we said to ourselves. Sure enough, we latched on to a day-tour to San Gimignano, Monteriggioni and Siena, hoping to see all the sights that made the movie, "Under the Tuscan Sun" famous. We were in the middle of these hills in less than 2 hours by coach. San Gimignano was a time-travelled fortress, with towers aplenty - a beautiful medieval town indeed. We stopped inside to lovely shops, one selling only lavender items, and the other, local clayworks and pottery. We had to buy some souvenirs. Monteriggioni was smaller in size, but with a drizzle turning into rain, we saw little of it, unfortunately)
