Tuscany Day 2: Saint Galgano Abbey

In the 10th century a knight decided to become a hermit and to prove his devotion he thrust his sword in a sword (expecting it to break), but instead it penetrated the stone to the hilt. It is said that the sword in the stone from the King Arthur legend is based on it. Our second day in Tuscany we took a short drive to see the abbey and the sword in the stone.

On our drive to the abbey we stopped for some pictures.

We saw field and fields of sunflowers. Too bad we were a couple of weeks late so they were dying by the time we saw them. 

My favorite part of Tuscany was driving around and seeing beautiful scenery wherever we went.
