Chianti and San Gimignano....

First stop of the day on another of our class field trips was San Gimignano. As you can tell from the amazing view, This city is just as pretty as everywhere else I've seen in italia which is something you don't see everyday.
This town is known as the 'Medieval Manhattan' of Italy because it has lots of tall towers inside the town. This was a little square plaza that I liked.

Next stop was CHIANTI! I know I say that every place I visit is soo pretty but this place was breathtaking! The view was amazing no matter what direction you looked in. I am jealous of the italians who get to see this every day.
And of course we got rained on again! I don't think a day goes by that Italia doesnt get rain. But it was fun because my roommate Sam and I cuddled under my umbrella! ( look at the view)
We went on a tour of one of the vineyards in Chanti and ate lunch which also included a little wine tasting... but I just stuck to my usual water, of course. haha I am so grateful that I get to visit all these different places in Italia and see how pretty the world is! It's places and experiences I will never forget.
