Florence

Yesterday we arrived in Florence, Italy.  The train ride is always an adventure.  Our hotel room is big and is close to the train station.  Had a wonderful dinner of course pasta & wine.  Today (Tuesday) we took the on/off bus -raining in the morning but a hot afternoon.  We made a visit to only Jewish Temple in Florence and had a wonderful tour guide in the temple.  At night we meet up with the Boroughfs.  The next day we did a cooking class - making tiramisu & homemade pasta.  We then ate our own creations.   It was a holiday in Florence and we saw a parade and a million people in the town square.  The next day we did an all day tour of Florence it was raining in the morning but the sun came out in the afternoon.  It was a great day!  Next Rome.
