Saturday was travel day to Florence leaving at 7:15 to overcast skies. We ran into rain, accidents that slowed us down but finally made it there in time to do a tour of the art museum. Here is the most famous sculpture of David by Michelangelo. It is as fascinating and awesome as it looks.

Our hotel is old on the outside but very modern and beautiful on the inside, best hotel so far. There is a piazza outside our window where musicians perform. So in our room we opened the window to enjoy the music, then the hotel delivered a very nice bottle of sparkling wine I guess as a gift for our anniversary (8/27) so we had a quite wonderful time before dinner.

Here is a menu of our typical dinner and our schedule.

Next post -day two.
