Day 10: Florence
... of Michelangelo, Galileo, Niccolo Medicci and Dante, as well as works by Donatello. On our way there, we walked through a little alleyway where school children were being let out for the day and families were there picking them up (no one was in a car; everyone walked or rode bikes). It was a very cute, Italian, everyday scene, and we enjoyed watching it unfold. All the parents picking up their kids had some kind of snack for them -- that must be some kind of tradition or regular ...
Day 9: Florence

We were very to get into our room right away, and be able to cool down a bit in the air conditioned place. We'd ...
Service with a scowl.
... train) and ninety minutes later, we're in Florence. Yay! Oh, why is Trenitalia the worst? I forgot to mention this in my Rome blog but I'll give you the run down now. So, we buy our tickets; by-the-way, €176 one way for four people is borderline butt rape. Now, you "choose" your seat when purchasing your tickets. We, duh, chose four seats all together. The tickets print out with completely different seat assignments. Not ...
