And it's a beautiful morning in the Tuscany hills above Firenze, the Italian name of Florence. Had a very long day yesterday, including breakfast in Florence, touring Florence, much of the group going to Pisa under threatening weather. On the way back to Florence we ran into a big storm and an even bigger traffic jam. Our normal trip should have been 1 hour- took us 2 and a half. The group not going to Pisa spent the afternoon in Florence and got a bit soggy. Had a great dinner in a local Florence restaurant then on to our hotel about 11pm. The Arno river, the river flowing through Florence was flooding last night because of the storms. So I guess we are not missing out too much on what is happening in some areas around Omaha/Council Bluffs...
Today we will finish breakfast then head to Assisi to see the Basilica and the city, then travel to Rome, dinner, and a hotel.
Tomorrow will be the big sights in Rome...
