I Uffizi e la cena con Rosalynd

On our way back from Arezzo on Friday we learned that we would be heading to Firenze in the evening for a guided tour of the Uffizi, followed by dinner with our tour guide, Rosalynd, an old and dear friend of our hosts' family. Rosalynd is a noted author and registered tour guide in Florence, and a fascinating gem of an individual. Her knowledge, her scholarship, her authority, and her sense of humor made our visit to the museum incredibly special, and dinner and conversation at her lovely home in Florence was real highlight of our trip.

We returned to Panzano and stopped by Paolo to buy a bottle of wine to enjoy under the Tuscan stars. I paused for a photo-op on the church steps...
