Days 11 and 12: Pisa, Florence and Rome

We walked to the castle and St. Peter's Square tonight and then went to dinner -- which was another delicious, family meal -- and then headed back to the apartment.

A Rendezvous in Tuscany
... med school interviews! I hope that everyone in medical school is as excellent as Chris and Adrienne...
Trying to meet up was kind of an adventure-- Chris didn't have a phone and we had to wait to get our train reservations from Milan to Florence until we were in Italy, so we didn't know what time the train was supposed to arrive. We arranged for him to Skype-call me at 1:30 so we could tell him our schedule. When ...
