What a fun tour!
Altogether we had a foursome family from Australia, two ladies from Vietnam, a Brit and his wife who had come to Florence to see David Gilmour of Pink Floyd the night before, a couple from San Diego on their honeymoon.
Additionally there were two friends who had grown up together in Philippines and lost touch after school. One moved to US and ended up Upstate NY 30 minutes from Montreal. The other became a nun and moved to Rome. We were very happy to have the blessing of the church on this tour!
We stopped for a view over Florence from a San Miniato al Monte. Then we went by Galileo's final home, provided him by the Medici's -- and where today there is an Observatory, and throughout various hill towns just south of Florence.
Then we went back to a villa where they have cooking classes, excellent dinners, and where we were served a wonderful feast!
And where we met a giant dog similar to this that had been rescued from Eastern Europe -- where they were planning to set him to fight bears!
