Italy (Como, Venice, Tuscany, Florence).






Italy: (Como, Tuscany, Florence}.
Lake Como: we drove from one end to the Other Como to Bellagio, on skinny winding roads, with Italian drivers, that was an experience. Unfortunately, it was fairly hazy, but it apparently is a lot, so couldn't do to many photos, but a beautiful drive anyway.
Venice:This was great as well, walked seemed to take forever through the Labyrinth of lanes and canals, but San Marco square was great.
Tuscany:
Here we caught up with the Pearson family from Church for two days where we explored Siena, Cartona and Assisi. These were great places to see, where you experience the way of life of the provincial life of Italians. Catona, is now famous for not only where Stephanie Sewell grew up, but where "Under the Tuscan Sun" was shot. We had a great time hanging with all the Pearsons, and eating lots of Marilyns great cooking!
Florence:
Today it was Florence, lots of people here, the sights were great, at night it was really pretty. Really cold here today, and it rained tonight, which is the first rain we have had since Denmark.
