Highlight photos - Radiocofani

Highlight photos from Radicofani, Tuscany - it is a village just below a hilltop fortress first built in the 10th century.  Largely undiscovered by tourists - it was amazing.

Daniela engaged local people in conversations.  See the picture of the local pharmacist talking to a local lady with her child.

Up near the top, near the fortress was one of the most beautiful cemeteries, still in use and tended lovingly by the town inhabitants.  LOVE the flowers they keep on them - some plastic, some fresh.  

Also LOVE the flowers in all the squares, along the flower pots on sides of walls etc.  

Maggie and I began to climb to the fortress but didn't have time to complete it.  We had some wonderful views nevertheless.  See the volcano?  It is still active.  See the steam in the left hand side of the picture - a vent of the volcano.  Evidently there is a electric plant at this spot as well, harnessing the power of the volcano.

Side note:  We should have continued climbing - two others did and kept the bus waiting 20 minutes  to the extreme annoyance of the rest of us.

Make SURE you click on these to get best viewing pleasure.
