We finally have a hotel with internet access, even if it is slow - woo-hoo! Don’t know if I’ll get pictures up, this connection is slow like dial-up.

But the best thing is that we are in Florence and our hotel rocks. It s directly on the Piazza Signoria with a view of the Palazzo Vecchio, and it is a gorgeous high quality apartment. Very modern and clean, separate bedroom, kitchenette, large bathroom, wood floors, and Salvatore Ferraggamo bath products. We’re very impressed.

I’ll write more about Florence later, just know that we had an uneventful train ride here from Lugano, and we’re thankful we decided to take a taxi to the hotel instead of walking since the city is PACKED with tourists right now. Just unbelievable how many people are here. Oh, and we had gelato tonight
