Lazy Days of Fall

Yesterday we had a lazy day around the hotel.  We walked the streets of Montecatini Terme, the small town outside of Florence where our hotel is located.  What's so funny is that the hotel we stayed at 3 years ago, Augustus, is one block over.  Here's a picture of Hotel Ercolini & Savi during our last night before heading back into Rome in the morning.

Today we went back into Florence and made it in time for our hair appointments that we set up two days prior. TravelistaTV's Andrea Adams gave us the recommendation of Nails & Co. near the Piazza Della Stazione.  We are now ready for our final interviews set for tomorrow in Rome. Ciao Bellas!!

On the Road!

We spent quite a bit of time on the road from Rome to Montecatini Terme, outside of Florence, Italy in the Tuscany region.  En route to our destination, we got to know our travel companions.  Rhonda and I are the youngest on this trip along with two other Black females from Georgia.  Neither of them knew each other before the trip. The other travelers are older retired White adults.  We shared with them our various passions including the concept of Take A Leap.  They shared very interesting travel stories from African safaris to river boat cruises along the Mediterranean.  We took only a few pictures today, and if it wasn't for the slow Internet connection, we would share them on this post [I've tried for over an hour].  One is from our trip to Assisi which was en route to Montecatini Terme, and the other is a glass of red wine from our wonderful dinner.  I will share them on a later post.  I was famish, so apologize for not taking pictures of the dinner itself which was a five course meal consisting of pizza, pasta, vegetables, fish & potatoes, and dessert.
