Road trippin' for Renaissance
Day 11. Today we checked out of Milan and headed south for Firenze (Florence). We drove through Parma, Modena and Bologna, and I was hoping to at least find some place to stop and taste cheese or balsamic vinegar. What we found out is that EVERYTHING is closed on Sundays. When we realized we weren't going to be able to do anything touristy we then …

Day 69: Today we got to try out the new camera which we were ...
