tiny side trip, big outlook

Last Saturday, we took ourselves out of Florence and into a darling little Tuscan hill town called San Gimignano. Cobblestone streets, porchetta heads, quiet alleyways. It was everything we wanted to "Mary Poppins" to a few days before.
We found ourselves in a lot of adorable streets, photo ops around every corner, frolicking up & down some mossy bricks, and all atop a Tuscan hill.
Over a view of green grass & vineyards, we set out on a mini mission for "lunch." Lunch in San Gimignano = a bottle of Vernaccia, local pecorino, boar salami (cinghale) and some fig panforte. Vernaccia is the local & recommended (by Emily) white wine! Found the perfect outlook..with a bench.. and some unsuspecting pigeons.
amazing!
Soaked in as much as we could...it was actually sunny!
After our lunch & bottle.. We bought a few beautiful olive wood cutting boards & some truffle infused cheese (melt my heart!!). The time in this town was cherished as we only had one day there.

Definitely an unforgettable & highly recommended Tuscan town!

Ciao!
