While some went to Cinque Terre today Norm, Michelle, Neil and I went to the town of Vinci (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinci,_Tuscany), Leonardo's birthplace. Lovely little Tuscan town and it was very interesting to go to the Vinci museum (
http://www.museoleonardiano.it/eng ) to learn about Leonardo and his inventions. I had no idea just how many things he invented and he certainly was an amazing person with a brilliant mind. Sadly none of his art was there as is either in galleries or private collections around the world.
Spent the afternoon by the pool and shock of shock (Olivia and Matthew take note...) I actually got in the pool and got my bathers wet!
The evening consisted of us all sitting in the courtyard area and consuming the remaining breads, cheeses, prosciutto, cold meats, salads and alcohol we had as it was our last night together as a group before everyone went their separate ways.
