Alyssa and I took a bus up to Fiesole, a beautiful hill town perched high above Florence. Fiesole contains the ancient ruins of an Etruscan village. The Etruscans were a magical sort of people that lived before the Romans, made beautiful pottery and little fetish-like healing dolls. After viewing the museum, we ate on the terrace of a Loggeria that not only had a stunning view of the sunset on the valley below, but delicious home-made pasta, too.
Today, I went with some friends from my language class on a bike ride through Florence. We dodged the masses of motorcycles, cars, and people to look at the different sights. Here is a picture of Dawn on her bicycle.
Busing and biking around Florence sounds like a fine adventure!
