Firenze

After a loooong bus ride, we finally arrived in Florence, or as they call it here, Firenze!  The hotel is palacial, pics to come soon!

We went for a walk downtown on our way to dinner, and it took our breath away:




Even more impressive when you realize that the cathedral isn't painted, it is made out of solid marble: green, red, and white. 

Then we had dinner. There was so much laughter! It is wonderful to see the group coming together, laughing over inside jokes and nicknames, sharing bonds that only come from traveling and adventuring together. I, for one, choked on my veal cutlet over a question about a bidet (a question I directed to our tour guide, by the way!). We are all tired but really loved our first Italian meal. They even had gluten free pasta and gluten/vegan chocolate cake!!

They are drinking coke, I promise!
