This week marks the transition from France to Italy.  We travel via train from southern France to Tuscany, province of Arezzo, where we begin a weeklong stay at a working Italian farm (agriturismo) near Castiglion Fiorentino, in the Arezzo region of Tuscany.  The farm will be our home base for their first week in Italy.  Day trips to nearby Assisi, home of St. Francis, as well as Siena are planned.
