"Ciao Tutti" - Hello Everyone! - April 10

Welcome to the first of our 2013 "we're in Italy" posts!  My travelers for these two weeks are Kathy Holbrook from Caswell Beach and Sherol Lappala from Southport.  We arrived on time with all our belongings and have settled into the Residence La Contessina here in Florence with our Italian family.  Today we did our orientation walkabout.  The San Lorenzo market is just a block away so we started there, had lunch at Za-Za's and continued on to the river and back.  Dinner at  Nerone's and gelato at Tullio's was a delicious ending of a "bellisimo" day!





Florence Night Life - September 30 - 2012

All the folks left early this morning for their flights back to the USA.  It has been a great two weeks and other than a little viral infections and colds, we made it through in good style.  Hope you have enjoyed your journey via the blog and perhaps you'll join me "for real" one of these days!  Here are some photos I made while roaming around the city at night.  Some are from store windows with interesting contents but everything takes on a whole new perspective after the sun sets.  So this is it for the 2012 tours - thanks for taking a look!  Ciao from Patirizia.
