Leaving Florence
I"m leaving Florence for the Tuscany country side - I will have to navigate roads that barely fit my little car let along the throngs of people that stroll on the two inch sidewalks.  Question - Were the people in the Middle Ages tiny? Their sidewalks and their streets are!  Their places of worship however would fit the jolly green giant and his extended veggie family, comfortably.  I manages to get from the airport to Tuscany don't ask me how......


Monteriggione - it's a fortress town completely with two churches.  Imagine my surprise.  Seriously this is a tiny town which housed the occupants of the region during wars - which from what I read were many. Actually I guess you needed two churches just in case one wasn't working you always had another. Choices are good especially when it comes to getting someone up there to listen.
I loved this town.
