From Italy

Hey Y'all  It  is wonderful.  We are in a castle built during the 12th century and it is awesome, but cold.  Here's the view from the terrace

we went to Firenze today - fortunately on the bus, it is not a place I would want to drive.  Lovely and a great lunch.  Lots of crowds.  I was not successful in finding the yarn store, but I did find a knitter minding one of the shops and we talked.  You know how that goes.  Knitting is a universal language.

Here's just one picture from the Duomo in Firenze...it is all so beautiful here.
