Day 10: Florence
... We watched some kids run into a creperie and decided it was time for Mom to try her first Nutella crepe. They are so gooey and chocolatey and sweetly delicious. Once we were in Santa Croce, we only had a little time, so went straight to the Masters' tombs. I can't explain the absolute disbelief and surrealty of standing in front of the spot where Galileo, Michelangelo and Dante rest.

We again had a midafternoon snack and chatted with ...
Fablissimo Florence
... twice a day. This afternoon's gelato was of fantastic quality but the gelato guy didn't quite scoop as high and as deep as our beloved Marco in Rome.
Yesterday we walked around Florence and managed to see most of the major sites (from the outside that is...too beautiful a day to go inside and the lines were long). Florence is truly beautiful and we really feel like we're in Italy. It's ...
