Day 10: Florence
... that didn't stop Mom, Dad, Tom and me from walking around the whole city while CJ worked on some schoolwork. We had a late start because we putzed around the apartment a bit and Mom and Dad found a cool market where they bought us some food for the next few days. When we ventured out, we walked out to Ponte Vecchio again (can't get enough of that bridge!) and over to the other side, where we had lunch, wine, and the first cannoli of the trip. We continued along the Arno River ...

... says he's too busy, although clearly he is just sitting there reading the paper, then Paul suggests we walk. In this we are fortunately saved by the rain (never thought I'd say I'm glad it's raining), so we are stuck in Poggibonsi till the train to Florence around lunchtime.

One of our guides told us that she went last year and it was absolutely crazy. She said that ...
MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: PISA
... by 1:30. I'm still contemplating whether or not I should take the site seeing tour bus today or just get a refund on it when I get home. I guess I'll see how I feel. On my way, a passenger had to pay a fine for not validating her ticket. The agent was NOT very nice. Validation is kind of silly in my opinion. The ticket has already been purchased. The agent checks and punches the ticket. Is that not enough? I think it's just a way to ...
