Days 11 and 12: Pisa, Florence and Rome
I combined yesterday and today because, well, quite frankly we were too drunk last night for me to post. I'd say "Sorry Mom," but she was the drunkest of us! :) So yesterday, Tom, Dad, Mom, Carleigh and I hopped a train out to Pisa, because Mom and CJ hadn't seen the leaning tower yet, and the rest of us loved the town and really wanted to go back. Pisa, by the way, is so adorable. The town itself is small but so very Italian with its little ...
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. We have FaceTimed with Lou a couple times to make us (me) feel better... but I digress. Anyway, I miss my husband a lot. Today's drizzly, cold weather matched the gloominess of Bradley's ...
Firenze è molto divertente!

Anyway. Crossed back, wandered around, found THE museum (Uffizi), apparently it was open that particular monday but we got there too late to buy tickets for the next day (because that place gets busy), wandered around it to the museum dedicated to Gallileo on accident, found a great sundial, tried to head back for a nap, got lost-ish, found lots of cool old streets, found our way again, ...

... It was so much fun. The food was great and pretty inexpensive. so totally worth it! After dinner we walked back to our apartment stopping at our favorite gelato place for our 1 euro cones and finding that the other 6 of our roommates had the same idea and were all there. Needless to say its a small place and once the 8 of us left it was much much emptier. But that's all for today!
Talk to you tomorrow my dears. Ciao! ...
