Fiesole

A week ago (un settimane fa…) we took a short bus ride to Fiesole, which is a small Etruscan town above Florence for Stefy’s birthday. It was a nice afternoon trip with a lot of walking. We visited a cemetery and then walked around the outside of Etruscan ruins. Afterwards we walked up a huge hill to go to the church and see the view of Florence. It was beautiful… but like always, my pictures don’t translate the beauty. It was an overcast day, so the sky was grey but the light was still nice. You could see a lot of the center as well as the countryside that surrounds the city. If it was a clear day it would be a very nice place to watch the sunset, but for us the sun setting over the city was more like a slice of orange in the cloudy sky.
