All our October group (and their luggage) arrived in Florence today with no problems except for some minor flight delays. After settling into our apartments we did a brief walk to the Duomo (cathedral) and back to get a first look at the city. Dinner was great at Nerone's, one of our neighborhood restaurants, and we finished off the evening with gelato (Italian ice cream) at Tullio's. Everyone was ready to collapse after all night flights and train trips from Rome today. Stay tuned to the blog for our daily adventures in Tuscany - you'll wish you were here!
