Our work and project at the Earthwatch site drew to a close today, Friday 10-Oct. We bid goodby to our fellow workers & to the staff. We picked up an Avis rental car in Piombino and headed towards Volterra.
We checked into Hotel Villa Porta All’ Arco, down-slope from central Volterra. Most locals would consider it a short walk up about 200 steps to the town center, but we preferred to drive and park nearby. We walked around the town and went into the museum of archeology, a large collection of early Etruscan, Roman and later artifacts. They had discovered a large necropolis of tombs from the pre-Roman eras so there were a lot of them on display.
