I haven't been to Italy in a long time. First week of August, our daughter will be playing soccer there. We want to go, as well. Firenze as a base camp? I lived there in the 90's. It looks different today. Prato, Siena, San Gimignano,etc maybe Rimini? Rent a car? Or driver? Train? Grazie. |

Ciao! I made it home. Hot and humid in Firenze. The town center was packed. Like Disneyland with crowds. The rain cooled it off a bit. I love this city. We spent most of our time south of the Arno. Completely different vibe. The people there are cool. Our trip was too short to do a lot of traveling. Siena was prepping for Il Palio. Less crowded than Firenze. We are considering doing L'Eroica next year. I have my old race bike from the 80's. |

Glad you enjoy the trip. I’ve lived in Tuscany when I was a kid (following my father’s deployment).. overall I think it’s the best part of Italy.. you have the sea & the mountain.. cool people too. This summer was incredibly hot & humid. I’m up north in the mountain right now and its still hot as well. |
