Easy arrival at Hotel Grand Cavour in central Florence. Dennis and I set off on immediate exploration of surroundings to the river and Ponte Vecchio, where the lighting was excellent.

A super dinner at a small trattoria that I thought looked appealing, and coincidentally Sandy had read about in her guide. Had we arrived 30 minutes later, a table would have been impossible to have.
After dinner a stroll by the Duomo…
We planned on taking a free walking tour of the city, but with inclement weather forecast, we took bus #12 from the station up to Piazzale Michaelangelo to see these terrific views of the city that I remember from 40 odd years ago!
I love this 2fer!!
I forgot this cute pic of chairs ..
And lunch ..
And then the rain came ..
Over and out; back to Heathrow for overnight and Boston on Wednesday.
