We're home now and happy to be so, but we had a wonderful time with lots of memories and adventures. We met some fun and interesting people and saw some amazing, and just flat-out beautiful, sights. But sometime during the third week of our trip the thought of going home didn't seem so bad. One does get tired of being a tourist, of driving the video-game-like curving, twisting, bending, spiraling, serpentine roads of rural Italy, the dirty laundry which somehow never gets washed and follows you everywhere, and all the other annoying mundane minutiae of traveling. I intend to fill in some of the gaps in coverage of our trip with this blog over the next few days-- especially time in Croatia-- for my own benefit if for nothing else, to preserve the memories.
I believe it was Friday that we took a trip to Siena. We stopped briefly in Bolsena to show the town to Geri and Ann. Some shots from an overlook
Then we got on the back road to Siena, the curvy, twisty, two-lane road. Some very picturesque country-side
We got to Siena, parked, and took a bus in. Marvelous medieval town, wish we had had more time there.
We took the Auto-strada home-- much faster.
