Glad to see you had such a great tour guide. You will need to return the favor when Francesco and his family come to Daytona. Cool pics again and such great history. Mitch you should have your Blogs published as a tour guide for many to experience your trek(s) over the years.

Are the monk skulls available at the gift shop? I will take one! Another fabulous day of food and sightseeing. The church frescoes are beyond stunning, the details are gorgeous. I would have a broken neck looking up at them constantly. Safe travels tomorrow to Vienna.

A day with Francesco is always enjoyable! What a beautiful church. Oh yes I do remember that restaurant and the food was so... delicious what a great way to end the day. Enjoy your travels to Vienna. We are so enjoying the blog and Mitch would make a very interesting tour guide.
