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 ...
Days 7 and 8: Genoa, Pisa, Florence

... one big block of marble. Unbelievable.

We do eventually make our way out into the hot streets and eat gelato and look at the leather shops. Kids are tired and so we all go home for a siesta. What a glorious idea this is. We crank up the air-con and sleep for hours. In ...
WARNING - Science talk ahead...
... The morning talks were a little disappointing in my opinion. Mainly cross-sectional with very suspect methods. They finished up around 11am and the "Meet the Expert" talks were scheduled for 11:30 or so. The official program noted that in between these two sessions were a designated "Poster and refreshment" time. So I went upstairs to the poster room and found only a few people wandering around. At 11:30 I listened to a fascinating talk about the diagnosis ...
