We're on our way to the U.S. in a few days, but thought we'd share some snaps from our April visit to Tuscany. We departed Bosnia on a Friday night (Jim driving), met the Sr. Tyvand's in Venice for breakfast, then all of us continued to Asciano, just outside of Siena, where we met Rose's good friend Sandi and her son Spencer.
View from the tallest tower in San Giamangio (midieval Manhattan as it is referred to)
To keep the girls entertained, well Talin anyways, Rose created a scavenger list. Here is Talin with list and pen in hand, San Giamangio.
View of the main plaza in San Giamangio again from tallest tower in the town.
On to Siena, where Rose and Alma enjoying the afternoon in the plaza adjacent to the Duomo.
Ice cream in San Giamangio.
Alma "really" enjoying herself, San Giamangio.
Actually a photo from Lublijana, Slovenia, too cute not to include. We stopped here couple of days on our way back from Italy. We'll be back in Slovenia at the end of August, visiting Lake Bled in the northeast corner of the country.
The boys in Tuscany. Young Jim is on the left.
Thermal baths about 10km from us in Asciano. We spent an afternoon here. Talin and Alma were not crazy about the sulfur smell, but a small price to pay on a cool and cloudy Tuscan afternoon.
Siena Duomo, origins of the black and white colors that represent the region, now worn by city's futbol team (recently promoted to Serie A).
Tyvand's outside of San Giamangio.
Steps leading to main plaza in Siena. We spent the better part of an afternoon exploring the plazas and narrow streets of this picturesque city.
Easter egg hunt outside of our villa in Asciano.
La Pescara restaraunt between Asciano and Siena. If you go to Tuscany, eat here. We were the only tourists in the place, had to guess at much of what we ordered, all turned out beyond expectations.
Ice cream and sun in Siena.
