AN OBSESSION
Once again, I was hit by the nations concern for fannies. I thought I was out for another ramble along the country lanes, checking out castles and old walls, but no… the idea of going to the thermal baths opened a whole new can of worms. Before we set off, I was checking the web for opening times and came across this site, which describes how famous San Casciano is for its vaginal irrigations!
1. What is one of those?
2. Does the mud or the water or the fumes get used?
3. Do they get reused?
Needless to say I was ecstatic to find that all the thermal areas are closed until February, and I am not going anyway until I get all the answers.

This is where it all happens...

San Casciano castle
The grannies standing in front of the castle which is private and can therefore not be accessed... cheers!

How about deforestation?

Fighine and Castello di Bufala
Fighine, down a dirt track, boasts Castello di Bufala, another private one.

Citta della Pieve
The cat told us the Enoteca at Citta della Pieve was closed.
