Day Four

We began our day visiting the skull of St. Catherine of Siena in the Bisilica Di San Dominico. We then walked up and down the very steep streets to the Shell shaped square where they are filiming the new James Bond film. After this we were off to the Tuscan hills, a beautiful ride through the country to the Castello Vicchio Maggio Winery for a wine tasting and fantastic lunch.
We had five different wines during our five course meal. It was wonderful!!!!!
Fr. Reggie performed the renewal of wedding vows for the four couples that are on our trip.
Drove back to Florence and had free time to wander in the city.
Wake up call at 6 am Saturday and off to Assisi at 8am we go.


The wine here is very good! Siena
