Dylan and Joe's Last Night in Florence at Castello Di Gabbinmo

We spent the last night we had with Dylan and Joe at the Castello Di Gabbiano in Chianti for a great final dinner.

This is where the indoor dining rooms are,
but since it was so nice outside we had dinner on their covered terrazza.
Sisi's favorite dog loves at the castel. She posed for this photo!

Beach Day with Nonna Nancy

Here is the only photo my mom allowed me to put on the blog of her at the beach... she is the sillowhette of the hands and feet and the white hat sticking out of the water. Oh mom!
Sisi likes the water fountain

Dylan and Joe Vistit Florence, 4th of July and a Day at the Beach

On a walk to Dylans apartment, we took a stop to watch the rowers on the Arno.

The first night that Joe arrived to meet Dylan in Florence was the Fouth of July. They put on a big party for all us Americani. There was a rock a roll band, free Mc Donalds and hamburgers and hot dogs...
Non parla Americano!

The crowd, Gimmy, Dylan and Joe.

We also had the pleasure to meet with professonal artist and architect Ernie Marjoram and his wife Silvia. 
They came from Los Angeles to visit family in Florence. Small world after all.
