This was the day we drove to San Gimignano and parked in this area When we entered the town, we first saw this tower and then the Duomo We stayed behind the Duomo to watch an impromptu flute concert before bells started to ring because of the time and we tried to catch clappers without success.

Next we went to check out the grand tower frescos and took some family pictures at the wishing well Next we went to the shopping street to look at glass and pigs

Everyone

was hungry for lunch which involved fantastic risotto a chianti and proscuito e melone They left their calling card with the check including a poem about people who missed the restaurant when it was closed. Before leaving town, Sarah mailed our postcards

Next we went to pick up our laundry from this guy who had run it through the machines without sorting by colors and hadn't bothered to get it dry though he did pack it in bags without folding it. We tried another shadow picture on the way to the shoe store in Greve where Benjamin tried on and bought these shoes and Jane didn't buy these

We ended the day at dinner

where the highlights were bruschetta and 2 kinds of pasta
