Day 10: Florence
... of Michelangelo, Galileo, Niccolo Medicci and Dante, as well as works by Donatello. On our way there, we walked through a little alleyway where school children were being let out for the day and families were there picking them up (no one was in a car; everyone walked or rode bikes). It was a very cute, Italian, everyday scene, and we enjoyed watching it unfold.

It is the Cellai Hotel Florence and it only costs $87.52! That's amazing, go ...
Siena
... luggage, I would run the risk of missing the train because I would have to wait for checked baggage. It's the last train out to Naples, in fact. I don't want to chance that. I found a baggage storage area at the train station that will hold my luggage for the time I'm gone. It's rather pricey but there isn't much I can do about it.
