The highlight was obviously the Sistine Chapel. We aren't allowed to take any pictures when in the chapel. That didn't stop Corey from taking a video (illegaly!).
We then boarded the bus to head to Florence via Sienna. The drive was pleasant and the country side was beautiful. We stopped for a bite (that's how our guide says "eat lunch") at a small restaurant on the highway on the way to Sienna. Here is Corey's olio (olive oil) soup!
As soon as we got close to Sienna, the Tuscan sun went under the clouds. It poured for our first 10 minutes while walking around.
But then, the sun came out and we got to enjoy Sienna. It was amazing. Here are a few shots overlooking Tuscany.
We made it to Florence in time for dinner and a quick walk down the river. More to come from Florence tomorrow - we have a walking tour in the morning and we are going to the Uffizi gallery in the afternoon. Tomorrow night we are going to the Tuscan Hills for dinner (always looking forward to food!!)
Ciao for now!

If you are arrested for illegal video recording of the Chapel, you may have an extended vacation and enjoy more Italian bread (if you are one of the lucky ones). We are eagerly awaiting the election results with Indiana still a "toss up" as of this morning. When I grow up, I want to be in politics so I can travel.
