Took a bus to San Gimignano, walked up and down a hill, did some people-watching, visit and lunch at Fattoria Poggio Allora agritourism farm, bought saffron and ordered wine, toured the organic farm, back to Firenze!

Dinner at Belle Donna—salad for me, veggie risotto for Mike, after big lunch at the farm. Found a wine door, then walked on back to the hotel.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
