Muggy Day in Florence
The weather forecast was cloudy with showers today so the air was quite muggy. This morning I went on the free walking tour offered at the hostel. Normally free walking tours work on a tips basis, but this didn't happen to be one - which might have been a good thing.

The Westin is in a super location along the river. The hotel is quite luxurious with ...
