The medieval history in and around Florence was really breathtaking. Because San Gimignano was in the countryside we had the, um, "privilege" of driving in Italy. The countryside wasn't too bad but getting through Florence was pretty crazy for Tabatha the Californian, though as a New Yorker BC believes Italians drive properly. 😉🤌
We arrive at the city gate of San Gimignano.
From Google: San Gimignano is an Italian hill town in Tuscany, southwest of Florence. Encircled by 13th-century walls, its old town centers on Piazza della Cisterna, a triangular square lined with medieval houses. It has a skyline of medieval towers, including the stone Torre Grossa.

You have to park in a lot a bit away from the town and the kids had a time making the walk.
They were in a much better mood after that as we walked along the ancient city wall and took in views of the Tuscan countryside.
This was outstanding.
This is what I look like contemplating the bill. 😆
Also outstanding.
