We had a world wind couple of days. I'm going to post Monday's events. Tuesday's activities will be posted in the morning. Collette Vacations took us on a surprised tour to the Florence American Cemetery and Memorial. It is at this location where we were able to see the grave of original Tuskegee Airman, Captain Erwin Lawrence. His grave is among the more than 5000 men and women, including names on the Wall of the Missing, who died during the last phase of the Italian campaign from June 1944 to May 1945.

| San Gimignano |
From there we went to the windy, but very scenic San Gimignano. Lots of shops, including La Buca for salsiccia cinghiale (wild boar sausage) which we read about in
Doing Italians...
Oops...Italy by
The Delusional Divas'.
Finally, the part of the day that everybody was waiting for: WINE TASTING and it didn't disappoint. Chianti is the wine made in the Tuscany region. This particular brand was produced by Tenuta San Vito.
Tomorrow we will post about our visit into Florence and our first of three interviews here in Italy for
Take A Leap with BET/AOL
Travelista Host Andrea Adams.
With those who are not familiar with
Take A Leap, we are chronicling the lives of African-American expats. The pilot episode will feature our interviews in Italy.
Grazie,
Rhonda W
