Day 10: Florence
... and the writer of the Divine Comedy. Come ON!! I geeked out a bit. Not to mention, the cathedral itself was stunning, as we the cloisters and courtyard outside. We headed back to the apartment and Mom cooked us a fantastic pot roast with potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, onions, and a salad. We enjoyed the delicious dinner around the large dining room table, sipped champagne, talked, laughed, and enjoyed the evening. Now, it's time to rest our very weary bodies and prepare for another ...

ROMEing Around (Clever...I know)
... instead. We stopped at a little café by the Ponte Vecchio and had a cappuccino and just hung out. Then we had some dinner and for dessert, waffles smothered with nutella. MY NEW OBSESSION. We are taking the night easy because we have a busy day tomorrow. We have an orientation at 8 a.m. and another one at 2 and then a walking tour at 4, so we have a full day tomorrow.
