The phrase ‘less than 24 hours’ should never be used in a sentence that contains ‘Florence’! That’s how long we are to remain here. Actually it’s less than a full day, twenty-two hours to be precise. Alex picked us up from the airport and we went straight to lunch. Marinated eggplant and a thick juicy slice of mozzarella from the south of Italy made up the main ingredients in my sandwich. Mark & Alex shared one parma ham with olive spread. Then it was time to meet our contact at the church, Lucia. She gave us a quick tour of the building. We accessed power capability, lighting needs, and tried to figure out where to place cameras and musicians. Unlike Lincoln, this is a simple setting. Yet no less weighty in the spiritual sense. We treated ourselves to a gelato and a coffee before heading out to the Ammirabile home. We now sit in the guest bedroom looking west out over the Tuscan hills. The sun is setting and enhancing the gold tones of the landscape. Daffodils and hyacinths bloom in the yard and the birds are singing a lovely sunset song.
Off to bed soon. Tomorrow we train to Bologna then fly to Prague
