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.

Heading down the hill we crossed the river via Ponte Vecchio an old bridge ...
Verona & Lake Garda
... called one of the staff members on the trip and we were informed that it was an earthquake. So basically we made it into a much more dramatic situation than it really was, even though in other parts of Italy, the earthquake ended up hitting pretty hard and killing 5 people, which is really sad.
