Monday, May 28th -- We woke up to the sound of birds.  Actually, we woke up to the sound of birds regularly thorughout the night. But what a glorious night. It was raining when we met downstairs for breakfast at 9:00am. Our host recommended we take a day trip to Florence, about an hour's drive away. We walked around the city for several hours, toured throught the Duomo, ate at a recommeded restaurant from our host (had pizza with an egg on it), did some window shopping (Donna bought a few pair of gloves), and drove back. Enjoy the pictures -- nothing really to tell.

Our hosts made reservations for us at another restaurant -- literally everyone from Villa Fondtlunga was there. Not as good as yesterday, but very enjoyable. Got to bed a bit earlier and planned to head to some of the Hill Towns in the morning.
