The Tour of Italy continues. Still more to come, so stay tuned!!!

A piece of art at the Da Vinci museum

And here we have "CHRIS" who was on our tour. He is a future artist and a bit of a ham.

Yummy

Another photo of the Tuscan countryside

This statue of Giacomo Puccini was especially important to our tour guide, Michael, who was related through his wife's family

Kathy liked this house in Vinci and said she wanted to live there

On the road to the museum of Leonardo Da Vinci. He was not only an artist but a great inventor of things we still use today

Just a sign I happened to see in Tuscany

Reminds us of Mexico or Arizona

This girl kept following me around all the time

Lots of statues in Europe, this one is of Giuseppe Garibaldi

Food is a very important thing in Italy

The city of Lucca

On the road

There seems to be a communist influence in Italy

Now that would make a nice towed pickup behind our motorhome...NOT

Line up to get back on the bus

The bridge across the Arno River in Florence has lots of shops along it

Some of the millions of mopeds all over Italy

The Smart car is just the right size for Kathy

The Polizia

That's Roy in front of a Italian semi :)

The Arno River that runs right through Firenze (Florence)

How's this for a police car?

Check out the word on the back of the man's shirt in white. This was taken in Florence, not Sicilia

Somehow this photo below got out of sequence. It is the ceiling in the Sistine Chapel consisting of frescoes by Michaelangelo. Don't forget you can click on any photo to enlarge it and this may be a good one to try that with.

Now back to our journey through the Tusany area and Florence

Huge statue if Neptune
