Wait a few pictures to see how it looked at the end of our visit!
Here is Holly, Molly, and Ali as we got off the bus.
And the COOL wall that surrounds the city.
And a picture that Poalo (Ali's travel buddy) took of us at the wall.
Once inside...we were the last of the group. (this is no surprise today, as we were in Lucca also. One man stopped us and asked if we were part of a photography tour...b/c there are too many big lenses us there!) We stopped almost as soon as we entered the city walls b/c I spotted a cool little alcove with stairs...I wanted to stop and play with the self-timer on my camera. Here is the fun result!
Now, my favorite thing (or one of them) in SG is the World Champion Gelato place. I LOVE this one...starts with a Z and is some sort of wine gelato...(it's not Zinfandel), but way more Italian in name! LOL
My first 2 scoops...
And my last 3...YES, it was a FIVE scoop day!!! Seriously, it's SO GOOD!!!! (with 2 Z scoops and 1 pistaccio aka pistachio)
And, just a few of my other favorite pictures of the day...
a sidewalk cafe
my change and receipt for gelato
a cool little side street
my lunch (artichoke and tomato pizza)
an amazing view...with laundry!
another cool side street
a fun set of doors
a cool archway near that door
me eating my lunch (don't ask me why this is out of order, but I can't get it back in order!)
me taking a picture of a side street...holding my painting under my arm!
Oh, i just L.O.V.E. this little Tuscan city!! I want to go back and stay near here or HERE with my family...maybe one day...
And, here is the beautiful view ...from almost the same spot as when we got there. Now, the fog has lifted.
After SG, we traveled just a few miles to a winery--San Donato.

It was a good day! (that ended with a nap!)
