On the road again

Today we left Urbino, starting to make our way around to Spain to catch our return flight. On the way we stopped at the same restaurant in Monterchi where we ate before (and Eddie hit his head.) The restaurant's good, though (if very slow) and Eddie stayed upright this time. Then we stopped in Florence to go through the big leather market and get some belts. Eddie spent the time with Nonno in a pretty shaded courtyard by the church San Lorenzo, where he charmed all the docents.

Eddie was really tired, and he slept through a lot in the car. On the way into Florence, he was asleep when a police car went by with its siren wailing. Eddie shouted "Ah! Wee-ooo, weee-ooo!" in a voice hoarse from sleeping—and stayed asleep!

Later we stopped at an Autogrill on the highway for dinner. Eddie shared some of our food, as usual. Toward the end of our meal, I was trying to get him to eat a piece of pear, but he kept looking away and refusing it. He loves fruit, though, so I said "Eddie, I don't think you've seen what this is. Look with your eyes!"  Immediately, he turned, grinning, grabbed the fruit off the fork, and stuck it in his eye!

We stopped for the night in Lucca.
