In April/May, 2004 Joyce and Bob visited these three cities in Northern Italy. We arrived in Venice after a 7 hour train trip from Geneva. What a treat to step back in history and find buildings and art that were already hundreds of years old when America was visited by Columbus!!

Venice - a city of the water. In many ways little changed from the time of 15th century paintings. No cars or motorcycles. Numerous canals, churches, museums, shops, markets, and tourists from all over.

Florence - art and sculpture beyond belief. Museums, churches, shops, restaurants, and tourists abound accompanied by the hustle and bustle of cars, trucks, motorcycles, and church bells. Much of the treasure of Florence is inside buildings.

Siena - An hour by train  from Florence in the Tuscany countryside, this walled city has a treasure of churches, museums, narrow streets, shops, flags, and a different, quieter character than the other cities.
