Greve in Chianti - Sept 23

A free morning for shopping and resting was followed this afternoon by a trip just outside Florence to visit the American Cememtery and Greve. The cemetery honors the lives of over 4000 servicemen who died in combat during World War II in Italy. Afterwards we continued on to a delightful little town, Greve for an interesting wine tasting experience and more shopping and enjoying gelato! Cheryl and Cindy opted to visit the Uffizi Art Gallery in Florence and Mary stayed in to rest her legs. Another great day in Italy!

City Walk and Tuscan Cooking - Sept 22

We started out this morning to visit the Cathedral, Dante's neighborhood and the Santa Croce area. It was a beautiful day in Florence and it ended with an entertaining cooking class at "In Tavola". We ate on Italian time-about 9:30 then walked across town back to LaContessina. A good time was had by all!
