Watch out Gene and Tim, Florence has two men that have stollen our hearts. Suchi, the golden retriever at our hotel, and of course David, more yummy than we expected. We had to do some smooth talking to get into the sights with my not-so-great reservations. But the gracious Italians, saw the hot, distressed and longing Americans and let us pass. Yes!!!
After a long day of museums, we found gelato and shade our only salvations. Dinner at a tiny sushi bar was a highlight. I can't believe I have finally grown tired of pizza.
We all decided that a bus tour of Tuscany, with a air conditioned bus, guide and wine tasting at lunch was just about right for our Rick-weiry bodies. So on Friday we headed out with 50 plus tourists and became part of those "horrible tourists groups". It was great to have someone else doing the thinking, the organizing, the narrating and yes, the driving.
More great food, more great wine and more great gelato.....
I'll go ahead and say that if a 17ft tall sculpted italian, who doubles as a biblical hero, shows interest...I'll tip my hat and bow out of the competition. I like my chances against the canine however...
