As a bonus, Stanley accompanied us on a trip to Florence, Italy, where my wife Genevieve and I celebrated our wedding anniversary. Also along for the trip was George Sapir, my wife's father. We spent three days there, including New Year's Eve.
Florence is the birthplace of the Renaissance, with so much history, culture, and architecture that it was like the buffet at Souplantation – it never stopped! My favorite sites were the Uffizi gallery where paintings from the famous Renaissance painters are displayed, the view of the beautiful bridge named Ponte Vecchio (meaning “old bridge” in Italian), and the statue of “David” by Michelangelo. From the photos, you can see that it was cold in Italy, much colder than we expected. It was between 35-40° F or 0° C, which for people like us from Southern California, is really, really cold.
