A Day in Montecatini

Finally after a very long flight we have arrived in Florence.  The air and the weather  is magnificent . We take a  thirty five minute drive to Montecatini Terme where we will be staying for the next  seven days.
Montecatini  a beautiful  Spa town centrally located in the Tuscan region of Italy..   On this lovely Sunday the streets were  empty and peaceful as we walked the cobblestone streets and  window shopped. We walked until we found a resturant for fresh pizza. Soon after the streets of the the town came alive  buzzing with people, music, laughter, cafes full to the brim and shops that opened after fiesta.   Take a glance at the people, places, and  life in this  charming Tuscan town.
