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.

... novel. Our fear is we might not be able to find another good English novel if we complete these.
After exploring our new digs we needed to find food and drink as we had not eaten much all day. Radda is 2 km from our home. Got there no problem, did our shopping and started home at 1755 .
