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.

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.

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.
