Morning walk with Carol and the little black kitty who went almost the entire hour with us, then breakfast, then planned for the painting I would work on. I wasn't happy with what I had done previously and got a nice shot of the scene at daybreak today and decided to revamp it to that lighting condition. Margaret did a demo and talk on skies and clouds. The portrait painting planned for the afternoon got moved to Friday as Margaret has a cold. It was announced that we would have a 3-hour walking tour with a guide tomorrow in Florence. Dinner was after a critique and I enjoyed the pasta dish. The funny thing is that I had told friends that we seldom had pasta on our trips, and this time we are having it everyday. Generally we have a 1st, 2nd, salad and desert menu with a choice of 2 or 3 items in the 1st and 2nd courses. These vineyards produce a fine quality of wine under the name of Fra (for the brothers who had a monastery nearby), so it's Frasole, Framonte, Fravento, etc.
