Here's how it goes: car, bus, plane, plane, bus, walk walk walk walk, metro, walk walk walk, metro, taxi, train, taxi, walk walk walk... I LOVE IT!

I'm in Florence, Italy... and I may never come back. This city is incredible!!! Rome was exhausting, but we saw so much. Passing by the Colosseum on a daily basis is a surreal experience. I have never walked so much in my life, but it's exhilirating. I missed home until today, when we stepped off the train into Florence (or Firenze as the natives call it.)

Tomorrow = shopping

Today = The Ufizzi and The Duomo and Baptistry. It's hard for me to believe I was inches away from Boticelli's Birth of Venus. I have seen so many pieces of art on this trip that have brought me to tears.

Seeing these crazy huge churches covered in gold and extreme devout Catholics shakes things up for a person who's faith has been shaken.

I'll write more later!

CIAO!
