August 11, 2025

On Tuesday we were ready for some adventure!

We were all a little unsure of the adventure planned but we gave it a go!

Yep! We hopped on bicycles and biked our way through the very busy and small streets of Florence! Our guide, Philippo, showed us the sites along the way…

and then we made our way outside of town which was very cool to see!

We biked our way up to Piazza Michelangelo which was not an easy ride – not necessarily difficult but uphill and challenging. I was very proud of our crew!!

The ride down was much easier!

The tour included lunch so we had a full, heavy sit down lunch complete with a bottle of wine that no one wanted! It was still nice…and Robert got in some good conversation with Philippo! ha! Robert is the best.

That afternoon we had tickets to go into the Accademia Gallery to see the David! Very impressive!

Arter that we walked through the Duomo museum which provided a nice air-conditioned space to walk around for an hour! and some interesting art too!

That night we cancelled out on our fancy dinner and got some pizza instead! Good decision!

    It looked like a fun, active day. Proud of Jan! I couldn’t have made the bike ride!
