Florence

The second day in Venice was excellent and now we've made it to Florence. It's a bit warmer here, but it shouldn't be unbearable.

Venice was pretty amazing, but I'm kind of happy to be somewhere again that isn't 100% tourist, even if Florence is pretty touristy. The last day of Venice was full of shopping around and just wandering the canals. It was fun just to really wander, come around corners, and be amazed at just about every turn. Beautiful city.

Tomorrow we plan on checking out the Duomo. I'm not really sure what else we'll be able to do since we're only here on a Sunday and Monday (most things are closed on monday), but it's ok. This will give us a nice taste of Florence so I can maybe return some day. We'll be off to Rome pretty quickly in 2 days. From there it's Barcelona, Paris, and quickly back to London for the flight home.

I do have to say, for some reason I feel the most at home in Italy. It kind of reminds me of California in a way. It also could be all my memories growing up with the Italian family and such :)

Only 13 days left!

Ciao!

We're off to
