All the travelers are here with no flight complications and we all set for our Tuscan adventure! Our first day was spent walking through Florence to orient ourselves to the city and find our way to the river and back home at La Contessina. In the afternoon we visited the Riccardi-Medici Palace. Everyone is recovering from jet lag and looking forward to tomorrow!
