Day 10: Florence
... and the writer of the Divine Comedy. Come ON!! I geeked out a bit. Not to mention, the cathedral itself was stunning, as we the cloisters and courtyard outside. We headed back to the apartment and Mom cooked us a fantastic pot roast with potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, onions, and a salad. We enjoyed the delicious dinner around the large dining room table, sipped champagne, talked, laughed, and enjoyed the evening. Now, it's time to rest our very weary bodies and prepare for another ...
"I got shit on my hands!"

Now the weeding part ...
Now we are in Tuscany
I actually thought today I wouldn't need to write a blog as we wern't leaving for the farm tilll 1:30, so with travel time and I guess dinner, I thought this would be a boring short entry of a day. I was indeed incorrect.
