San Gimignano, the Ferrari version

From many people, we had heard how nice it was to visit the ancient hilltop town of San Gimignano. Gael and I chose to go there on another of our another-day-out-of-Florence adventures.

First, I will share the Ferrari event at San Gimignano. The Ferrari event, you say? Well, Gael and I stopped to eat at a restaurant on the piazza. While we were sitting there, a red Ferrari drove up outside the door of the hotel right beside the tables. Since I’m writing a story about car museums, and we have it in our plan to go to the Ferrari museum in Modena later in our visit, I took a picture (well, more than one).

So did another couple, the man posing as those he owned it while the wife shot the photo. They were soon joined by another man, posing as owner….

And another man other men….

and more men….

Oh, and one woman posed like she was the owner, and a little boy (ah, the wonder on his face–bit small to see, but it was there).

Look at the faces of the people in the background looking at the car…

Of course, I calmly ate my lunch of bufala mozzarella caprese salad and gluten-free pasta. (I don’t confess to taking all these pictures, or sharing a laugh with our waiter about all the people taking pictures, although he finally went and got his phone and took  a photo, too!)
