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. We have FaceTimed with Lou a couple times to make us (me) feel better... but I digress. Anyway, I miss my husband a lot. Today's drizzly, cold weather matched the gloominess of Bradley's ...

The crowds here are worse than they've been anywhere so far, but it may be because it was a beautiful Sunday and it's a small city, so it feels more cramped.

Once in Florence, we exited the train and Lindsay herded us out if the station. I was still up trying to figure out where we were and ...
Statues in Florence
... We all got huge pizzas (this was for lunch and dinner) – I got meat – delicious. After we finished we sat around for a long time digesting and chatting and the waitress brought us some free lemon sorbet which was lovely and delicious – think looking like a pathetic poor backpacker is paying off with all this free food! After a couple of hours we did the 30sec trek ...
