127. A Dinner Table for 50 on the Arno

It was our first time at the quintessential Tuscan dream dinner... one long table for 50 people, outdoors, at night, on the edge of the Arno River in Florence. The guests were from around the world, all gathered to celebrate our mutual friend Lolita. The table was topped with endless candles, flowers, wine bottles, etc., busy but beautiful.
This dinner was the last night of our somewhat short 4-day stay in Florence, and what a treat it was!  However, earlier in the day we went to one of my favorite places, Michelangelo's house on Via Ghibellina. Casa Buonarroti is filled with color, artwork and history, but most importantly, you can't help but revel in the fact that you are walking through the same rooms that Mic did!
