The Recap: Florence June 14

Florence was only short and sweet and a 5 hour stay. But, we covered the "best of" Florence, which was satisfying. Before going to the Duomo, Dave and I enjoyed REALLY good 'Za! Sausage and tomatoe --- really flavorful.

While I couldn't enter the Church because of my bare shoulders, I was able to climb 480 stairs to the top of the Dome in the Church. Essentially, I got to be in the Church with a way better view. I've climbed so many freaking stairs in the past two days --- oh buttocks!

Getting to the train on time was extremely frustrating because they changed tracks to freaking all the way on the other side. Sweating and tired, we weren't to thrilled to be sitting next to two chatty cathy's from Arizona. The way they spoke made them seem like they had little respect for Italian lifestyles and traditions. Lame.

Happily arrived in Venice, sadly in a two twin bed room, with very squishy beds. Even so, slept decent. Venice tomorrow.
