Florence
Well, we made it to Florence. We're going to be here for 4 days. We're staying at a place my Mom recommended with a huge room overlooking a giant piazza. More later...
Beaune, Bern, Venice, Trento
Beaune Like I mentioned in my last post, Beaune is a gorgeous small city of about 25000 people just south of Dijon. We got to go wine tasting in a 12th century wine cellar in the middle of the city. The local specialty is Anise. We went out to a bar and I ordered some - the bartender asked →
Love France! Absolutely love it!
