Stage 32b. Il Pietreto to Monteriggioni. Part 1.

Although today was largely dominated by the hilltop fortress of Monteriggioni, there were also other finds, like La Strove's charming piazza (it also has a very good butcher/baker/cafe and an hotel), and the chocolatey soil currently being ploughed everywhere.
Olive groves awaiting their harvest
and some colourful shoes in the centre of Monteriggioni.
Oh! How I lusted after those.

But principally the day belonged to views of Monteriggioni; the first glimpse being from Abbadia l'Isola, where there were also 2 fairly clean pilgrim loos, outside the Abbey, just as the coffee in La Strove began to demand attention.
