Thu 16 Oct- the sky was grey and threatening rain, so after breakfast we checked with reception about the tour of Villa Mylius Vigoni. She found the tour was cancelled due to insufficient number and weather concerns. Stan read the newspaper, relieved to see the market and financial meltdown is at least temporarily controlled while Kiyomi looked for a place to stay in Florence. Back in the room, Stan prepared the photos for upload, updated the blog and continued reading while Kiyomi continued work on her article.
After a coffee break at the Metropole's cafe, we continued inside, since it was still cool, windy and threatening rain. Stan finished 'London Bridges' and started (for lack of anything else) 'Simply Divine' by Wendy Holden.
For dinner we had: 1/2 liter house white wine; beef cured and cut like proscuitto & white cheese appetizer; dumplings Roman style (with cheese) and pasta Woodman's style (in a white sauce with peas and mushrooms) as first plate; sirloin steak Mirabeau (with anchovy topping) and fish with almond sauce, served with rustic potatoes & pan-fried peppers, onions and potatoes as second plate; vanilla ice cream and tiramisu for dessert.
