Firenze

So we went from relaxing, to even more relaxing! Oh boy..the view from our hostel was sooo great. Getting there was not so much fun because we ended up missing our stop and had to ride the public bus all the way around again. And then we shared our tent with a snorer. Which was remedied when the camping site gave us a different tent the next night - then of course there were unexplainable problems trying to get the key to work, but in the end, we were comfortably sleeping. Here's the view from Michelangelo's Square that was adjacent to our campsite:



Florence is famous for the Uffizi that has Michelangelo's David on display- but the line is intense and we skipped out on the museum in exchange for the replica.



In this same plaza, there was an AMAZING guitarist. Many thanks to Hannah's 2gb memory card that caught a snapshot of how awesome he was. [Sorry it's side-ways.]



We also had 2 exciting eating experiences: 1. We shared a florentine steak, and shrimp tagolini - both were greeaat. 2. we had a wine and cheese party! Which was actually supposed to be grape-juice and cheese cuz I just really do not like the taste of wine, but apparantly, wine comes in cardboard containers! I didn't read the label and just figured the 85 cent carton had to be juice, and then it was too late.
