Buses Don't Run on Sundays

Sunday was a beautiful sunny day in Greve.  Our plans were a return trip to Florence to see David at the Academia.  We pride ourselves on being smart, well planned tourists.  This means that we had tickets and reservations made for David and the Pitti Palace.  The one thing we did not plan for was the buses going between Florence and Greve do not run on Sundays.

After standing at the rather quiet bus stop for a little bit, Jamie conversed with a boy and his grandmother about the bus schedule.  They confirmed our thoughts that buses were not going to be an option for us that day.

Of course, Duane, Tari and I had to give Jamie quite the hard time about that.  With a wide open day in front of us, we thought we would wonder around Greve and explore more of the city than we would normally see.

Short Door Picture Time!  Just as we have done in previous years, everyone had to get their picture with a short door.  This time it was Duane's turn.

With Greve being the heart of Chianti, the Black Rooster is a very important figure in the town.  They have a statue representation near a local water fountain.

We walked from one side of town to the other and got the brilliant idea that we would walk to the near by town of Montefloralle.  There are a few hills on the walk and it was another warm day, so we made a decision to stop at the top of the first hill and take in some of the views of Greve.

After our adventures of the day, Duane ponders what the life of a wondering tourist would be like on a regular basis

Tari appears to be thinking more about relaxing with a glass of wine and people watching on the Greve Triangle.
