Great Stories and Pictures
Really enjoyed reading all about your trip. I really felt like I was traveling with the two of you. It definitely brought back great memories of when Marti and I went to Italy...it really is an amazing place with very friendly sweet people. The only thing you didn't mention was shopping for leather goods at the outdoor market in Florence....of course shopping is always at the top of my to do list! Thanks again for sharing and I'm looking forward to hearing more about the trip in person soon.

We did buy some leather goods
Hey Michelle, Outside of the Uffizi, by Ponte Vecchio we did buy a leather wallet for Buff and a leather (wraparound) belt for me. Very good deals. Most of the other shopping we did was for souvenir type things for family and friends, and for us!!!!! I fly to IN tomorrow, see you soon in the Windy City. G.
