| our road ahead follows a ridge to the hill city of Volterra -- big views to both sides as we climb, and climb |
 |
|||
|
|

 |
We make it to the top of the climb -- the towers that were once far off are now close by
|

walking around the little city

We look over the long, long downhill we are about to take on the main road west from Volterra
|
|||
|
|
||||
| just past Canneto . . .
we look back on our climb up the long valley -- mostly rather gentle -- until near the end |
