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.

First day in Firenze (Florence)
... small plazas between buildings, hidden from the masses. Amazing!!! We pass by a myriad of shops offering fresh meats and cheeses. And…a barber shop. Shawn decides an Italian barber may be just the thing he needs to tidy up his hair and beard. Tony, the owner, kindly offers his chair. He is a magician with his scissors and razors. And, a vibrant man who appears to be connected with a great deal of ...
