Day 10: Florence
We started the day with a major bummer: Bradley left for home bright and early, which makes me really sad. I miss him already and I'm jealous that he gets to see our pooch and smoosh his little Louie face. There are a ton of dogs in Europe, by the way, and people bring them everywhere with them.

I'll keep working on pictures. I just don't want to put a bunch up until I'm caught up. Or at least closer to catching up to the point where I'm only a day behind or so.
I'll write again before we leave Florence, or "Firenze" (FEER-EHN-ZAY). Ciaociao!

My mama's visit to Florence, Italy
... of it. The museum was filled with many pieces from Michelangelo and other Italian artisans. After the museum we went to the Boboli Gardens at the Pitti Palace. I have heard people rant and rave about them, but I may have left a little disappointed. The sights were beautiful overlooking the city, but I was expecting more out of the gardens.
