Florence, Monday

This is our final day in Florence: a chance to do laundry, last minute shopping or view the last unvisited Church. Most opted for the second choice. We ate our meals at restaurants recommended by Rick Steves and for the most part pleased with his recommendations. Often the restaurant he recommended had a line, while the adjoining place sat empty. There were a lot of Americans in Florence, the European schools aren't yet out.

We are now on the train back to Rome. We should arrive shortly after noon, which will give us a pleasant afternoon and evening in Rome. All the Sisters were on hand to say goodbye, more likely they didn't want us to walk off with their keys!

The last couple days have been cooler, with a nice breeze, so it was a pleasant end of our time in Tuscany.
