Christmas and New Years in Italy and Provence 2015

Judith and I spent Christmas and New Year’s 2015 in France and Italy.  We flew to Rome on December 15 where we met Tom and Tim for a four day visit.  In Mane we spent Christmas Eve at David’s with Michele, David, Suzanna, Werner and others. We had Christmas dinner at Tom and Tim’s. On New Year’s Eve we hosted a party in Aix at the Saint-Christophe.

 

From Aix we spent a night at the  Negresco Hotel in Nice and took the train down to Rapallo where we traveled up and down the coast.  Finally we went on to Florence where we rented an apartment near the center of the old town.  On January 11 we returned to San Francisco.nice_negrescoromanforum hotel_saint_christophe_exterior_aixenprovence_france florence-accademia-and-uffizi-gallery
