Morning in Florence!

After a long day of travel and a good nights sleep, we are preparing for our first full day in Florence. The flights went smoothly, and the driver was there to pick us up and bring us to the apartment. Last night, we ventured out for a nice dinner at an outdoor restaurant and walked about the city, across the nearby Ponte Vechio and past the Duomo which is spectacular in person. You have to give it to them, they did know grandeur!

As I type this morning, the smell of coffee wafting, through the what was once a bakery, I am reminded of those who years ago, walked in this same place, readying bread for the ovens and the smell of baking bread which once permeated these walls.

We are on schedule for a half day walking tour of the city this morning, and can't wait to see the city in daylight.

Hoping all is well with those of you at home!
