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.

Days 291 to 293 - Firenze, aka Florence
... less than 3 Euro (ie $4.50 CDN).
On our first night we found a place with reasonable prices and were asked if we had a reservation. It was 8pm and the restaurant was less than half full. It seemed strange for them to pause, but they took us in nonetheless. When Eli ordered the fettucine alfredo (on the menu) with chicken (not on the menu) in passable Italian the server acted, without speaking, as if he'd been asked to have the chef ...
