Ac 10 Hotel Arezzo

Hello everyone,<br>We had such fun today!! The square had it's first ever market day or flea market. It was filled with cheeses which by the way Percino was our favorite and the fresh sliced procuitto was unbelievable. We just walked around all day. The first part of the day we did two loads of wash and dry which cost $18 us dollars. Then we had wine free and paid and had a great time. We then came back to ...

... It was the size of a small frozen Tony's party pizza from home. We then went to get Gelato (ice cream) and we walked the main strip with all the beautiful young Italians. It is Friday night and they were out full force and dressed to kill. It is amazing how we dress big and saggy in America (boys and girls) and here and when in London everything was tight, small to the waist in coats and shirts and tight jeans. The girls all wear the leggings with boots ...

I hope this works, it has been hard to attach some of the video because it times out. FYI to all my not so computer literate friends and family. When you first open the video, it will start and then stop in the middle to keep reloading and then start and stop again. This can get frustrating but is necessary until it is completely ...

Hello friends and family,<br>We have made it to Siena from Venice thank goodness and it was almost easy. We had to change trains in Florence and thought it would be crazy, but everything went smooth and then we got in Siena and could not find our room again. We got on the wrong bus even though when we gott on I asked the mean bus driver and he said, "yes, yes". Then when we asked some fellow ...

... or die, the favors given to the masses that were imprinted with famous gladiator's names (we still do this today!) and the entire Colosseum, 50,000 people, could empty out of the structure in 15 minutes. (And the Latin word for that is where the word vomit came from. No joke.) <br><br>As we headed back toward our hotel to catch our afternoon train we...drumroll...were able to get that famous salad!! It was unlike anything I have ever had ...

Well, our last day in Arezzo.<br>My haircut turned out OK I think.<br>Turns out that the head (excuse the pun) hairdresser had lived in Australia for a few years, and although she couldn't remember much english, I emerged unscathed sans mohawk!<br> <br>We spent the last day wandering the streets of Arezzo in the raiin and discovered new nooks and crannies, it's that sort of town ...

... Arezzo! Where the heck is that? If it's not next to the Uffizi museum then I'm not interested! We continue driving towards Arezzo (thank God for the GPS unit in the car) and catch glimpses of a spectacular sunset. We get to the hotel and from the outside we are looking a Hotel 6 style hotel. Wonderful! We walk inside and it's very modern with a contemporary décor. Not bad...the Uffizi is becoming a blurrrrrr. The front desk tells us about ...

... sing some karaoke. We sang the Grease mega mix because Louis wouldn't play it on the bus all day and we wanted to show him how good a singers we all are! He didn't like us too much after that. Next we went to this really nice lookout for a group photo. I'd underestimated how cold it was so i bought a new jumper with ITALIA printed on it. Over the course of the day all the girls started to buy similar jumpers and we have since been known as the legendary TEAM ITALIA ...

... at night, apart from clubbing there wasnt much to see (at least to our knowledge). We took a public bus to a hill on top of Florence, but wasnt much to view there. There was supposed to be an old roman outdoor theater in excavation but wasnt much to see & it was closed already. so we quickly returned. It's a bit like going to Dako Pakar in Bandung. I will put down the names of the resto/places when I look out at my paper archives...

... one of the first clear, sunny days in a while in the area. After some time walking around, we went into the Chiesa di San Francesco, where we were able to see a famous cycle of frescoes done by Piero della Francesca. After taking the bus to Anghiari, where Stephanie greeted us and took us to this wonderful restaurant...we sat outside eating for HOURS on a terrace overlooking Tuscan and Umbrian landscape and fields. It was magnificent ...
