Left Venice today for Florence. Stopped for a wine tasting in a lovely Tuscan town called 'Lucca'. Ellena, described perfectly at a firecracker, showed us how the wine and EVOO was made and then treated us to a FABULOUS afternoon - the laughter carried ove the beautiful countryside. From there we stopped at Pisa which Mike compared to 'South of the Border' and Tour Guide Johnny set up a contest for worst souvenir. The Field of Miracles, where the tower leans, was breathtaking and we bypassed the rest. Once in Florence, Mike and I went for a run along the Arno River and watched the Olympic rowers at practice after which we had worked up quite an appetite. Dinner was at 'Il Cavillire' where the waiters favorite phrase was 'Okay. Okay. Ciao. Ciao.'
