Just loved Florence, beautiful city and so much to see and do. You seem to know several of my friends. Kit is working the memorial service at Joanne's House tomorrow for me. Hope your knee improves - prayer your way. Have a great remaining
trip. Thanks for sharing these wonderful memories.

Hi! Thanks for writing this blog - it's great to be able to follow my (technologically delinquent) parents Bill and Mary Jo. Beautiful pictures too!~Please tell my parents I say hello and I love them! I was actually in Florence almost 1
0 years ago, on September 11, 2001. That city holds some bizarre memories for me from that day.

Hope you stroll the Ponte Vecchio. Stroll along the Arno River bank too. - Great art galleries on the way. Our tour group mirrored yours - leather, gold, wine tasting. Still pining for a purse I should have bought. Pitti Palace -home of
the Medicis across the Ponte Vecchio is excellent.

And did you go across the Arno and see the Boboli Gardens and Pitti Palace? There is a fabulous leather shop across the street on your left as you exit... also a wonderful watercolor painter who does traditional Tuscan scenes -- everyone I
've taken to her or told about her winds up buying paintings... Then you still have Venice -- wonderful Venice-- in your future... decorator tassels are a secret treasure from Venice. And I can't wait to hear you on the subject of Venician glass from Murano. I'll be surprised if you don't find an irresistible treasure there.
