Day 10: Florence
... Michelangelo, which is on the top of a hill and overlooks the entirety of Florence across the river. My God, was it beautiful. Not only could we see the whole city, but also tumbling Tuscan hills with Cyprus trees and an old city wall unrolling into the distance. Not a bad couple of hours to spend in the afternoon. The hike up to Piazzale Michelangelo was strenuous, so we took our time coming back down the hill and across the river on our way to Santa Croce, a cathedral that houses ...

For whom the bell tolls…
... and why was Sara worried about replacing her watch that failed in Rome? In fact, we hear the hour tolled twice, one about 6 minutes after the first. Meant to get earplugs today….oh, well.
Tomorrow- an Untours orientation followed by a visit to the Abbey of Monte Oliveto Maggiore-the active home of the Olivetan or White Benedictine Monks. The directions to the Abbey seem clear but with Roger at the helm and Sara navigating any misdirection is possible- stay ...
