When in Rome...........

So, yesterday and today we were in Florence, and it was magical. It was exactly as you would expect an Italian town to be......there were old buildings, and it had a small town feel, but was still touristy enough that the people there understood English. We saw the David this morning, and then did a little shopping......Florence has great outdoor markets!!! Then, of course we climbed to the top of the Duomo, because climbing is what we do best. As if that wasn't enough, we then climbed to the top of Piazza Michelangelo to get a view of the entire city. It was great. Tonight we arrived in Rome, and had just enough time to get dinner and take the metro to St. Peter's Square to check out the Pope's house. It was amazing. The outside anyway. Shockingly enough, the Pope wasnt waiting there for us to give us a behind the scenes tour of his home. However, his light was on in his room, so I know he was waiting up for us. Hahaha riiiight. Anyway, so far I love Italy, especially the food, and I loved what I saw of the city tonight. Its gonna be a busy next couple of days! Bueno Serra!
