Volterra, Tuscany

Another day, another medieval hill-top, walled city. We intended to go to San Gimignano because everyone said we should go.  Well we arrived and couldn't find a parking place and there crowds of people.  So we scrapped that plan to find a road less traveled.  That road lead us to Volterra.
 

Volterra is a beautiful medieval town with lots of historical buildings like a Roman theater, cathedral and town hall palace. One family built and lived in this city so there is lots of family history and, of course, lots of churches. The streets were wide with lots of room to walk and shop.  We found it a delightful city with fewer crowds and a calmer atmosphere.

Rick always seeks out the gelateria wherever we go. Well he found the best one in town as there was a line to get a treat all day long.  The line was worth standing in as the gelato was superb.  Gusto Gelateria was rated as the best gelato in Tuscany for two years running.  Rick was very happy.

Here is our selfie for the day.  We had a beautiful background of Volterra.
