San Gimignano and Colle di Val d'Elsa

Ciao tutti,
I am so far behind on my blog, but have taken many pictures and have been writing a lot in my paper journal... so here are some images from the trip so far. I hope to catch up with more writing, but for now...

July 30-spent the afternoon in San Gimignano and had dinner in Colle di Val d'Elsa at L' Officina della Cucina Popolare.
An alcove of Piazza del Duomo
A lovely linen store in S. Gimignano--lots of items embroidered with bees. When I asked the owner why bees... he responded "per piacere"--because he likes them, and they are industrious and you can use their products for many things.
San Gimignano's towers
A mural in a small piazza where we waited out the rain... Saint Francis?
