Haven't posted in a while for a couple of reasons. Usually I'm just too tired, but we did spend a couple of days in a delightful medieval walled village and had no internet access. The town, San Gimignano, is wonderful, and we had a great hotel. The first morning after we arrived we set out for Pisa -- which was terrific-- and then headed to Firenze. That's where we got into major trouble. We never could figure out where Garmin was taking us, but we also never got close to where we were headed. We never even got to a spot that I could find on the map. Around and around we went with narrow, crowded streets and maniacal drivers, and then the Garmin died. At that point we decided to bag the Duomo and after a lot of trouble we found our way out of town. Without using the Garmin, we made it to Venice easily, got parked and onto the water bus and had no trouble finding the hotel, getting our gondola ride and seeing St. Mark's Square. No adventures to report. Today, we came across the Simplon Pass into Switzerland, and had no trouble finding our way to Tasch. Tomorrow we go to Zermatt to look at the Matterhorn.
