Piazza Delle Repubblica

Sigh. Rain. We were supposed to go to Fiesole today. But it's a sunny weather place. Maybe tomorrow. Instead we visited Piazza delle Repubblica and did some shopping.

Italian Roots?

251007
Today we ventured up to the "small" village where my great-grandfather's family came from. It was a much larger town than we thought and we (of course) timed it perfectly and arrived during the lunch time shut down, but we had a lovely lunch at a restaurant tucked behind the theatre that we think doesn't often get tourists!

Fontana Delle 99 Cannelle

241007
It was drizzly today - not rainy really, just damp. We walked down a LONG, windy hill to find the Fontana delle 99 cannelle. And once we found it, we had to walk back up the REALLY long hill! Cobbles+drizzle=slippery slopes!

BeeBop And Little Buddy

171007
My goddaughter decided her bestest friend was Rebecca, but being not-quite-two Rebecca was hard to say. So Rebecca became BeeBop.
