Under cloudy Tuscan skies
It's packed here and in a few hours we will attempt to make our way back to Rome, very worried about our tight connection through Charles de Gaulle tomorrow morning. We'll see how it goes. It's funny, but 24 years ago, I found Rome scary and overwhelming and Florence beautiful and charming. We loved Rome this trip and our day trip into Tuscany was wonderful, but Florence was not as it was. The years have been good to Rome and less kind to Florence, I think.
Symbol of Contrada della Selva, Siena

Giotto's Tower, Firenze
I have the identical picture at home, but taken 24 years ago from the third level up the belltower in Florence. Indiana Jones isn't quite right -- it's the years and the miles
Pisa
Go climb a tower (we did!)
