Images of Tuscany

Finally, spring break has arrived for us students! Although I hadn’t planned to do any travelling, a few days away from the city was definitely needed. My boyfriend and I piled our things into his car and drove out to Tuscany…

Whenever travelling outside of the major cities in Italy, the best place to stay is called an “agriturismo.” These places are kind of like Bed & Breakfasts, but they also serve lunch and dinner - and the food and wine is almost always from their own farms and vineyards. Some agriturismos do horseback riding as well.

I spent my afternoons exploring the nearby historic towns, like Tuscania.

If you get up high enough on a hill, you’ll be able to catch sunset over the sea:
