November 30 Terme di Bagno Vignoni to the mighty Arno!

Today we drove up to Florence and checked in at a hotel along the Arno, a massive shift from the tiny natural hot springs bubbling up outside our window at Bagno Vignoni.

We walked over to the Accademia at about 6 expecting to have an hour or so before it closed. We were pleasantly surprised when the guard said that Accademia along with all the major museums in Florence were opening every Tuesday this month for free from 7 - 11p! So we walked around for a bit, window shopped, met my old friend Carmelo and visited the Bargello AND the accademia in one evening before dinner at Trattoria Garga here near the hotel.
