We had an appointment with DAVID this morning as we marveled at Michelangelo's marble masterpiece. Then there was our afternoon in Lucca. The train got us there at 2:30 and we enjoyed a late lunch and the refreshing fall scenery around the beautiful walled city. The rain held off for us until we boarded our evening train arriving back in Florence at 8 o'clock. The days seem to be flying by as we are in the last week of our Italian adventure.

Home Day and Venice - Oct 22-23
On Friday we had a completely free day in Florence to do whatever suited our moods, appetites and credit cards! Saturday morning we were off on our trip to Venice. Don and Arlene stayed in Florence while the rest of us took in the watery sights of Italy's floating city. The weather was cloudy but thankfully there was no rain. Our vaporetta trip down the Grand Canal brought us in close contact with every kind of boat in Venice! Everyone managed to wander back to the station in time for our evening train to Florence.
