I have just been thinking about our recent trip to Italy. I planned it so long ago, and the wait was endless, and the trip seemed so quick. I loved the food, especially the regional risotto specialty. Our train connections worked well, and we were able to see the Alps in Switzerland, visit Florence for a day, and stay in a luxury hotel on Lago Maggiore. My highlights were seeing The Last Supper in Milan, and David by Michelangelo in Florence. I wish I had more time in Florence, but was able to walk (and trip) on the cobblestone streets past the Duomo and down to the Ponte Vecchio. I hope to visit Florence again.
