OMG 65 !!

My birthday ....
First a mention on this special day of how grateful I am to have
   Ron in my life
   My health
   The opportunity to revisit Europe after 43 years 

The day started overcast and a bit drizzly but still warm. 
Fresh croissant, cappuccino and then some figs I picked off the tree for breakfast. Although I have never been much of a coffee drinker the Italians sure know how to do it right. 
We did a bit of hiking in the hills where we are staying. Good to get some fresh air and burn off breakfast.

Picking figs 

Morning hike



We took the bus to Florence and then the heavens opened... torrential rain and thunder and lightening. 



So we decided to go to the Galileo Museum. It was really interesting .... what a brilliant mind !!!



I got my first official Senior discount. 
The nice lady at the museum signed my ticket ...Happy Birthday in Italian ... 




We went to a trattoria for a delicious  pasta dinner.... capers, herbs, ground toasted almonds and fresh tomatoes with of course great Italian vino. Can't complain celebrating a milestone in Italy !!
