The tourist season has ended now in Florence. The weather continues to be beautiful with temperatures in the low 70’s during the day. I think that this is a fabulous time of year to visit! We are feasting on ripe tomatoes, grapes and pears from Tuscany, so fresh and good.

Chia and I have had more time to wander with fewer shopping tours, and are soaking up the warm sunshine. She loves to go to the dog park here, which looks pretty much like the ones in the States except for the Renaissance urn in the center!

This next week, I have 3 groups shopping with me, a lunch with the Contessa, and a visit to the goldsmith to see what he has designed for me. La dolce vita for sure!
