What a great group! Standing in the shadows of Monteriggioni- Our Picnic Destination
Going to Market has been one of the fun things we have done
this week…repeatedly. It’s always a
colorful time when the stalls go up and the fresh produce comes out in any
town, but this market is a bit larger than most. We’ve seen exotic mushrooms and beautiful
vegetables and fruits on our table at mealtime and this day, we saw them in the
market at every turn.
Today was Poggibonsi, a town with quite a vibrant market
scene. Our mission was to search out
food for our picnic in the walled medieval town of Monteriggioni. After gathering our treasures we trekked up
to the picnic site in scenic Monteriggioni and enjoyed our feast.
After our picnic, we returned to our Tuscan home away from
home, and readied for our evening meal with an art lesson for those who were
interested, optional massages, cooking class, and aperitivos before
dinner. All in all, a great day!
