Today we headed for the village of San Gimignano.  Wow! Walked the narrow streets and window shopped.  Checking out the gifts we want to bring back home.  Our first wine tasting at Fattoria San Donato.  We tasted Vernaccia Di San Gimignano white wine which is a white wine that tasted red.  We all just loved it.  Many bottle of it and virgin olive oil will be coming home.  We had a Tuscany light lunch.  It was just perfect.   Later in the day we visit Siena including Cathedral Complex, Piazza del Campo, a Contrada Museum and San Domenico Church.   Then the shopping began.  Leather jacket and purses was the top of everyone’s list.

We arrived in Florence and will drive to Chianti. We set off for the village of Radda in Chianti where we will stay for 6 blissful nights. The view from the hotel stretches out over the vineyards. We are ready to explore Tuscany.

Out welcome dinner at Ristorante La Perla del Palzzo was outstanding.  Very tasty.  Tired and ready for bed.  Good Night.   We are all looking forward to starting the tour.
