Florence: Saturday

On Saturday, we made further use of the scooter rental.  We headed out into the Tuscan countryside to the town of San Gimignano, which is famous because the medieval wealthy families competed to build taller and taller towers.  Many of them still remain, and the city sits up on a hill, so it makes a very pretty picture.  The town is also famous for its Cinghiale: wild boar.  So we wandered around the town a bit, had lunch, wandered some more, then headed back.  Back in Florence, we returned the scooter then went to a last dinner in Florence at a pretty touristy but ok restaurant.  After dinner, we wandered around the nighttime streets of Florence, for some lovely views.
