Arrividerci Firenza! - Goodbye Florence!

Morning planes took the Shapiros and Bishops back home while I began the last day of my month-long stay in Florence. One more museum was on the schedule, so it was off to San Marco church and monastery to see the wonderful frescos in the monks' cells and other masterpieces from the 14th and 15th centuries. Back at the apartment I began the packing and organizing for my trip home. In late afternoon I took my last walk around the city, saying "arrividerci"! What a great experience this has been and I look forward to being here again next year. La Contessina has been a wonderful "home away from home" and I promised the Pellagottis' that I would return with more friends! And so, here I am at the end of my daily reviews and photographs (actually I have hundreds more if you're interested!). This has been such a successful way to share with so many of you the pleasures of "my Italy - 2008"! Thanks for coming along on your computers - maybe next time you can really be here! Arrividerci!
