The city sits atop a mountain, with a fortress of walls, the ancient protections of medieval times. The streets are cobblestone, wide and open. The people didn't come out when we were there; most likely because a tour group of 20 or so accompanied us: loud and obnoxious. But we quickly separated from them and greatly enjoyed our walk around the city. The panoramic view of tuscan fields was truly unico. Unique, impossible to find elsewhere.

San Gimagnano
Last weekend, I and the guys took a trip to a truly unique city. The city of seven towers. San Gimignano. It's hard to tell the story of the city outside of pictures, so I will keep my words brief, and litter this page with some of the 83 pictures that I took.
