At least once a day during our short stay, I would gaze into the distance and state dreamily, ”we’re in Florence”. Sue would nod in agreement and we both marveled at our happy circumstance.

Had to say goodbye to Sue yesterday at the train station in Florence to make my way north to Milano Malpensa to meet Bill coming off his flight from Catania. Had thought I would catch up on pictures and posts on the train ride there but the ride consisted of long tunnel passages and along with the gentle rocking of the train was mesmerized into sleep most of the ride.
