Day 10: Florence
... We watched some kids run into a creperie and decided it was time for Mom to try her first Nutella crepe. They are so gooey and chocolatey and sweetly delicious. Once we were in Santa Croce, we only had a little time, so went straight to the Masters' tombs. I can't explain the absolute disbelief and surrealty of standing in front of the spot where Galileo, Michelangelo and Dante rest. I mean, you're literally 10 feet from the father of modern astronomy, the painter of the ...

... and ended up whiling away a couple of hours over tea and then more wine, hearing all about the history of the property and how she came to living there.

She went to rally the children (Lucrezzia being more of an English rose, especially compared to the very Italian little Romeo already wilfully defiant and passionate) and we continued with ...

We drooled at the sparkling windows of gold, silver and precious gems. From there we arrived at Palazzo della Signore, the town hall square.

Under the Tuscan Sun
... colourful Italian expletives, the door finally gave way and we were inside. Hurray!!!! We shut it and siad "NO more going out tonight!"
A delicious home cooked Italiano supper of tortelloni with tomato sauce,mixed salad with oil and vinegar dressing and crusty bread closed off our first day in Tuscany.
We plan a relaxing Sunday- sleeping in and not going too far.
Hope everyone is enjoying their Thanksgiving weekend!!!. . ...
