Although our departing flight from Portland, ME, was delayed by two hours, we got to Newark in plenty of time, and had a very smooth flight in a brand new Airbus to Zurich. Then it was on to Florence above the clouds, landing on time at 2:30 pm. Our hosts weren't home yet to welcome us to our room, so we stored our bags with their downstairs neighbour who runs a Toscana wine shop (bring your own bottle, and she'll fill it with the wine of your choice!). We wandered around the area of the Duomo in the center of the city, had a beer in a cafe while it sprinkled a bit, and then it was time to register in our room.
It's on the third floor of a very old building on a little pedestrian street about a 10 min. walk from the Duomo. Our hosts, Nada and Lorenzo, are great - young and welcoming and full of information and restaurant recommendations. Nada phoned Pepo's Osteria and made reservations for us. We had a delicious dinner there, mostly appetizers. It is only a 3 minute walk from our room, and very typical and authentic.
Now it's to bed after a long, long day. I will try to add some photos, but don't know if I'll succeed!
