23 May David’s Legs
When scholars discuss about “A city upon a hill”, I do not think they have ever been to Poppi. This small little community is a breath of fresh air from the cities that most travelers associate Italy with. This majestic land is cradled around mountains and beautiful Tuscany hills that light up an explorers eyes. Besides the view, this small little place calls for a great leg day work out. I promise you that you will have the legs of David just after a few days.
Hiking and wondering around the Tuscan hills may make your feet blister but just imagine. Dante and the other greats once roamed this lushes Earth. It might just be me but I think it’s a wonderful thought. Plus everyone in Poppi seems like they are genuinely happy, unlike 3/4 of America’s population. I cannot even imagine a purely happy America, especially if Trump gets in. Maybe he will make it great. Oh well.
Amazing enough was during Romena’s castle in the middle of No where. I could just imagine some squire guy posted there watching over the other castles. I also could just imagine Dante writing about his Inferno while looking at the 3rd tower, where the prisoners stayed. I Could not imagine seeing the hellish terror coming from that hell hole. Birds pecking away at the inmates. Dante’s BFF making fake coins for a bastard. That must of been a lot for Dante to take in. Luckily he exposed the man in the Inferno.
Overall Poppi is a small place on the Boot but it’s still just as important and awesome. It may not be as big as Florence, but it’s still beautiful. Plus it’s only a short drive away.
