Chianti and Tuscany wine tasting! (and the black cock lol)
Today was an amazing day! I met so many great people and got to see some great views in Tuscany. The drive through Chianti was all fields, sunflowers and rolling hills (amazing!) We went to two different wine tastings and had tons of different breads, meats, cheeses (and of course wine), while relaxing out on the terrace overlooking the sunflower fields. After the tastings, we walked up to the small village of San Gimignano and got a great view over Chianti. We also did some shopping in the town market and had some world famous Gilato (best in the WORLD in 2007.) then we finished off the day by walking downtown Florence to the canal and the Gardens, and we all enjoyed the view together. THEN, after all of that, we went back to the hostel and climbed up onto the roof where we all sat, drank wine together, and looked out over the city! It really was such an amazing day and a great contender for one of my favorite here in Europe. I will definitely remember the rooftop chats forever.
Sooooo.. you must now be wondering about the black cock? lol.... don't worry... I'm talking about a rooster! The black rooster is pretty strong symbol there, and there was actually one running around at our second wine tasting that I caught (although it did try to bite me eventually :P)
