On Wednesday morning I met Bonnie & Craig Thomas from Southport and their friends the Burg's from New Jersey at the train station. They came up from Rome for the day. We had a nice lunch (Craig ate stewed rabbit!) and then it was off to the museums. While they were in the Uffizi, I took the Palazzo Vecchio tour to see where the rich Medici's lived before "buying-up" into a better neighborhood across the river (the Pitti Palace) back in the 1500's. Meanwhile, the Bishops and Shapiros ventured out on their own to do some shopping - coming back with Italian shoes,purses,etc. (looks like some nice gifts going back to the US!). After getting our "Romans" back to the train station, I cooked up a pasta & chicken dish for our dinner in the courtyard. Another busy day! More later!
