Tarquina

I boarded the bus and was off. Our guide gave a wonderful narration during the drive. She is the one who pointed out the roman ruins in the port area. Otherwise I would have missed them.

The drive was absolutely stunning. Think of every beautiful picture you have ever seen of Tuscany and we saw it. Sheep, olive groves, flowers, grape vines, pastures, artichoke fields, produce fields, rolling hills, picturesque trees, ancient ruins etc.

Pic. 1 is of Tarquina. We didn't stop here but it looked like a marvelous stop. Our guide did a wonderful job describing the medieval city. I believe the taxi driver said there was a museum and medieval buildings to tour so it would be a good place to visit.
