Travels in Italy • Miles & Janice DeCoster

We ventured into the hills just north of Florence while Pat and Steve were here to see Fiesole, a former Roman settlement and now a pleasant suburb with a great view of Florence. It was a nice bus ride, but we ended up walking most of the way back as the buses were very crowded. Not a bad place for a walk however.

Another view.



Pat and Steve, with Florence in the distance.

Interior of Domenican church.



Exterior. Not just any Domenican church. This the church where St Dominic started the order.
