Day 10: Florence
... We watched some kids run into a creperie and decided it was time for Mom to try her first Nutella crepe. They are so gooey and chocolatey and sweetly delicious.

Verona & Lake Garda
... trip through a company that organizes excursions all over Europe for students who are studying abroad. It’s a great deal and makes planning so much easier because they take care of transportation and accommodations. (The company is called Bus2Alps, in case anyone was wondering.)
