Away from Home to Rome - Sept 28

Six of us took the optional trip to Rome today so that's what we have in store for you in the photographs. Our fellow travelers stayed in Florence for more sightseeing and shopping on their own. It was a great day with only a few dark clouds but no rain. Our 9:10 train got us there at 10:30 and we were back in Florence at 8:30 in the evening - in time to have dinner with Sandy and Barb.

Cortona and Orvieto - Sept 27

Lots of photos again today as we show you our "bellisimo" day in Cortona (where Under the Tuscan Sun was filmed) and Orvieto with its spectacular cathedral. It was a little cooler in Cortona than we expected, but no rain. Some of the folks even took an underground tour in Orvieto. I'll have to check that out next time. Enjoy the photos!
