Day 10
Friday, May 16
We got up early again.
I took my wife and Mary into the dentist in Sieci.
He put a new filling in her tooth. She
was pleased that he was gentle and skilled and only charged 100.00 Euros .
We came back to the Villa and she slept most of the day.
I read and slept down in the cabana near the pool.
The four of us left about 6:30 to find a restaurant that my wife had
found in a tour book. We couldn’t
find it.
We
ended up at a beautiful hotel, Villa San Michelle, which had been a monastery.
Mary went in to look around and decided it was a good place to have a
drink. It was beautiful
inside. The bar area
overlooked Florence. We sat on
comfortable furniture around our table. We had drinks and they brought us little
treats.
My wife and I had been looking for a real posh
place to have dinner in Florence and this was our last night.
Mike and Mary don’t do “fancy” as far as restaurants and food are
concerned. I
suggested that we eat dinner there
and that it would be my treat. They
happened to have a table available. We
were seated on the same side of the restaurant with a wonderful view of
Florence. It was a wonderful
and fancy dinner…rather expensive, but not quite as much as Tour de Argent in
Paris where we encountered the nation debt.
Home to bed…rather full and
happy.
