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 ...
Florentine Enchantment

Wait ... has she told you about the car....... our Avis man tells us to go to the end door exit left and ...
Rain
... place on the corner. He nodded his head, as if he understood my every word. Surprisingly, he did not disappoint, although I think his wife was suspicious of us the whole time.
The climb up the steps to the dome was the equivalent of a 30-minute StairMaster workout; add the awkward sidestep of tourists on their way down. As expected, the view from the top was spectacular and the breeze was well appreciated on a hot Tuscan morning. I ...
