June in Tuscany

Annamaria on Monday

A Trip to the Dentist and Other Delights

It wasn't a toothache screaming to be fixed.  But it was troublesome and demanded attention.  My dentist in NYC gave me a recommendation.  Dr. Ricci--who gave me an immediate appointment and told me his address.  I walked.  Here are some of the wonders I saw along the way:



The raibow flag is a symbol of support for gay rights in NYC.  In Italy it is a
symbol of Pace--peace.  To me it is both.

The Church of San Michele.


The dentist is on this street
The garden across the street from the palazzo where the dentist has his office.
His treatment room, it turned out, over looked this view.

The decoration over the entrance door to the dentist's office!


Later that same day:

A walk along the Arno to the meeting place...





For a drive to the Villa Corsini for an evening of food, conversation, music.




The next day:

Blue sies...


...and a trip to my idea of heaven on earth--Santa Cristina in Chianti...



...and lunch.






...Followed by a visit to an exhibit of the brilliant works of Steve McCurry, the man who took this photo...



,,,and also this one...


...and many more.  And then on to a lovely place in the hills above Florence for dinner after sunset.




Magical.  Even the visit to the dentist.
