Around Florence and Fiesole - September 17

We were expecting showers when we started out on our Hop-on Hop-off bus tour today, but the sun came out and the skies turned blue before too long.  We "hopped off" in Fiesole for a walkabout and lunch.  At Piazza Michelangelo we had amazing views of Florence below then we rode around to see more of the sights of Florence.  Everyone is easing into the Italian lifestyle and we're having lots of fun!  More later . . .
