Two years ago, dear friends let me in on their hobby (Geocaching.com). It is basically treasure hunting anywhere in the world. It takes a GPS and downloads coordinates from the computer (longitude and latitude) and off we go looking for what someone has hid,registered and maintains.
There are nearly 1.4 million caches worldwide and 4 million treasure hunters like me! So as someone could be walking down the street and be oblivious,I can zero in and find a cache. I sign the log inside it and go back to the computer and record my find!! Andy says this is for “old people”, but pffft, I think it’s fun! There are 50 or so in R.B. alone!?
What a find Volterra was! We had a long ramble and a quick panini lunch and an awesome look at an enormous roman ampitheater. Very impressive but as the town aged, it became roman baths , and then the town dump, because it was in a ravine…not to be rediscovered in the 1950’s.
