Italy Part lll

From Roma on to Florence, Pisa and Nice.

Florence, the birth of the Renaissance.  We had a group picture taken with on an overlook with the city of Florence in the background.  The museum with Michelangelo's Davis was on strike, but in the square we saw an exact replica of this famous statue.  We spent the afternoon in the old city and came upon a festival celebrating the  harvest of the grapes.  People in various renaissance dress and they paraded around the squares.

The next day we were on the way to Nice, stopping to see the leaning tower of Pisa and then an afternoon at Monte Carlo, Monaco, where the rich and famous go.

At Nice, Karen and I spent the afternoon in the parks and along the waterfront, eating at another outside cafe.

From Nice we go to Lucerne, Switzerland.
