ON YOUR OWN:

• visit all the great art works not covered by the cultural group trips
• go shopping at the fabulous leather markets and stores
• sip espresso or granita (a frozen lemonade) on the piazza.....any piazza!
• explore the hills just ouside Florence
• find the best gelato place...a real challenge!
• go grocery shopping at the incredible San Lorenzo Market, then cook your own great meal for your friends and colleagues
• experience truffles (the real thing, not the chocolate variety) for the first time
