The Natural Hot Springs of Tuscany

Today Viola and I visited the Natural Sulfur Hot Springs a short distance from the house. There were many locals (no tourists) that visit the springs on weekends. The hot springs are on one of the many rivers flowing through the valley. the scenery is beautiful surrounding the hot springs. It is amazing how peaceful and majestic everything is.

We rotated between the hot springs and the river, which was quite cold. It was almost like having a FREE spa. In fact there are two resorts that charge alot of money to use the same water just above the local hot springs. Everyone knows how frugal I am.

I was able to meet many of the colorful locals. They are all so friendly and talkative. Of course, they were talking to me in Italian and I kept nodding my head; I didn't understand a word.

It was still drizzling, otherwise Viola and I would of sold the remaining bread on the street side. She may try tomorrow, but I decided to venture out and visit Perugia, which is in the Umbria region. Viola believes that it is nicer that Orvieto and more to do.

No pictures today because I forgot my camera. I will definitely be returning.

Ciao for now.
