Georgia and Carleens’ Umbrian Adventure

L’inizio (The Beginning)

We left Seattle in a cool drizzle, boarding a 9 hour Lufthansa flight to Frankfort.  We had great seats along the side with extra leg room (ha ha, like I need that!).  The food was so so, but we were able to have Campari and soda.  Watched Ocean’s 8 (very clever) and Neat, A history of Bourbon (very educational).  Read a little, slept a little and studied Italian.
The Frankfort Airport was just as described.  The planes park out on the tarmac about 1 mile from the terminal.  Then they sardine you into busses.  So much for German efficiency!  The airport was not so bad once you got there.  We then boarded a smaller plane to Florence.  It is warm and sunny here - like summer.  The hotel is lovely and the city is bustling.  We are headed out to explore.
