+ The Renaissance comes alive in this fascinating city. This was our second time here. We came back because Mary needed to go to the annual meeting of the International Continence Society. Photos from the Gala are included here. We heard 2 amazing opera singers at that Gala.
+ This visit to Florence had the big advantage of the guidance of the Rick Steves Guide for Florence and Tuscany. We had not yet discovered these fantastic guide books when we visited in 2004.
