- In Florence we saw Brunelleschi's Dome and Michelangelo's David, shopped along the Ponte Vecchio, and explored the Uffizi Gallery.
- In Siena we slowed down, enjoyed the Piazza del Campo, saw where the new James Bond movie was filmed, lost at least two sketchbooks, and the girls and Chris L. went horseback riding through the Tuscan countryside.
- In the hill towns of San Gimignano, Pienza, and Montepulciano we dodged rain and bought expensive wine. But mostly hid from the rain.
- In Orvieto we saw the cathedral, the underground city of caves, and St. Patrick's well, and bought lots of painted pottery for souvenirs and gifts.
- In Rome we saw the Roman Forum, the Coliseum, the Vatican, the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, EUR... and Sara got eaten alive by bedbugs at our hotel.
