Mon 03 Nov- after breakfast and a short walk to the tourist office in a light rain and cool 18-19 C temperature, we investigated the possibilities for visiting. Today most of the interesting places are closed, so we'll have to visit from tomorrow.
We had lunch at the Londra's restaurant: 'Buonamico Montecarlo' 2007 white wine; Kiyomi had linguine with clams; Stan had hamburger with fries and pickled veggies. The rain came and went as we were investigating, so we didn't venture out.
In the evening we met with Roland and Ragnhild Edstrom (Roland is a 'cousin' who lives in Sweden, but is visiting Ragnhild's Italian relatives near Florence). It was great to see them again after many years; they are very nice relatives. Roland drove to a town above Florence (using a borrowed Tom-Tom GPS), where we had a lively discussion and catch-up of news, plus dinner: a nice Chianti wine and fizzy water; an antipasto variety plate; Stan had the delicious lasagne while everyone else had a wonderful linguine with fresh mushrooms.
After dinner we took a walk to the viewpoint where we looked down on Florence with a dramatic pattern of foggy and clear view.
