So the last few days have been crazy crazy!
We went to Florence for two days, but almost didn't make it with all of us on board... the next time I have more internet time I will explain how we got on the wrong train to Rome, lost Carissa who got pushed off the train, survived no communication and a delayed connection due to a TRAIN ON FIRE... then showed up to Carissa's missing passport and Eurail pass, got to the hostel which resembled a WW2 infermary but felt more like an inferno. and yet had the best time in Florence ever!
The Uffizi Gallery, the Arno river, Michelangelo's lookout hike, statues, gelatto, the David, the Duomo, the night life and meeting up with Cassandra Quilantang!
We then trecked to Rome where we have seen the Vatican, the Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, Sistine Chapel and are going to see the Colosseum tonight. A friend of Brandon Polley's named John who is interning at the US Embassy here generously saved us from a terribly shady hostel, way off the Roman map and we will stay for one more night with before training up to Venice tomorrow morning!
We are off to do laundry and dinner, then a night jaunt possibly dancing. Love you and miss you. Talk to you in Venice!
Lo
