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.

You Can Take the Girl out of the City but...

Oh oh! I finally have achieved some color on my skin- TAN (whoa!) except for a spot on my back that apparently I missed (and it's not even in a bad location like I couldn't reach it) and my stomach (that's gonna hurt when I try to go to sleep!).

Tonight we have our farewell dinner with everyone. I'm ready to feast like a king!! Bring it on! :)
