Towers and aged stone. A brief rainstorm, followed by hot afternoon sun. A gelateria that had supplied to past Prime Ministers - raspberry and rosemary sorbet, delicious. Overpriced espresso in the main square, bruschetta eaten on a terrace overlooking Tuscan countryside. An archaeological museum combined with an art gallery, no translations for the exhibits, fascinating all the same. Fast moving lizards beneath the olive trees in the grounds of the old fort.
one of the most beautiful places I have ever been.. met an artist in a cafe who sketched my portrait whilst enjoying a cup of coffee.. this was 10 years ago and I'm dying to go back..
