Here is a "postcard" from Florence where we are staying for a few days. The view is from the Piazzale Michelangelo. I'll try to drop in from time to time, but direct any problems to Freediver or Perceptions Now.

I'm having a cultural break from hill walking, This afternoon I drive to Fabriano for an ancient historical reunion. Hopefully the Romans won't beat us in battle again.

beautiful ..... went through Florence about 10 yrs ago but didn't stop due to the lack of time .... the wife still mentions it at least once a fortnight .. she's never forgiven me.

Nice one, Muso!!  :)

The Celts were hiding in ambush in the woods, but it started raining heavily and they all went home. These barbarians are getting soft.

Muso aka Marce the Etruscan from Northern Italy.

Nice Muso.
Seems you and I have swapped continents. I'm in Australia for work/holiday for 2 weeks!

Timed badly from a season perspective.

I have hardly seen Italy. The one main country I've not really spent any time.

Well there are some truly beautiful locations in Italy. This is the Villa della Balbianello on Lake Como.  I took this picture in May.

I love the drive up the hill to that car park/statue/lookout.

If I remember right, you actually drive past the house Galileo lived in (?)

Nice pic.

Yes, I think you mean the Villa Arcetri. It's up in the hills to the South of the Piazzale Michelangelo.

nice one...
