~*OC*~ had a marvelous time in Firenze hanging out with HRH HWH, and she even managed to do a little sightseeing. We stocked-up on all of our favorite Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella goodies (although there is a very small branch in Milan on Corso Magenta), and satisfied our palate with Brunello di Montalcino Biondi Santi. Since OC always thinks of her readers, she brought back a few musically-minded images.
