San Gimignano Part 1

Today we got up and headed to San Gimignano, the town of towers! So apparently there used to be 72 towers in this tiny town as all the rich families built their own tower to show how rich they are, but most were destroyed during WWII, though 14 still remain! So it was fun wandering the town with all these towers everywhere.

It was also market day and I had read somewhere that it was a food market today, but it was just a normal market with a mix of things. I did find a porcelain bowl that I loved and had to bring home with me! It is a small town so the market was pretty small, but it was fun wandering. I don’t think Raymond liked the town as much as I did as he said it was a lot of tourist shops, which it was, but nicer ones that I liked so I didn’t mind ;)Read more
