Florence

Well, after a very long day of travel via school bus, coach bus shuttle bus and two planes, we made it! 

We are staying at a monastery that was built around the turn of the century.

When was the last time you received your room keys like this?

Look at the ceiling in our bedroom! 

Michelangelo’s handiwork!?

They have beautiful gardens where we sat in and enjoyed some vino this evening before going out for supper.

We had a delicious supper out, and we are off to bed! 30 plus hours awake with a few catnaps in between! Tomorrow we are up and out early for a paddling practice.
