Travels around Tuscany

Oh. .....we enjoyed driving thru the Tuscany countryside!  Seeing....
Volterra and their 2,000 year old Roman Theater
.....and their Etruscan Musee with artifacts  c 1500 B.C.
and of course, they have those charming shops !
Then....there was the Abby of Mt Oliveto Maggiore
charming villages
Vineyards and Olive trees along the roadside
Wonderful country scenes on the way to Montalcino hilltown/winetown
This time of year, the hillsides were not green...
...but the vistas were still awesome as we traveled along the ridge roads.
