Hello! We have made it to Florence. 2 trains and some walking and here we are. We are staying right near the Arno River and saw the Ponte Vecchio - amazing!! We stopped by the Duomo - mobbed and walked through the market. I'm exhausted! Off to dinner in a few minutes!
What a contrast to Cinque Terre - but both rich with history and very friendly people! Tomorrow we are going to see Michelangelo and then on a picnic!! Quite warm here so I definitely packed correctly. I will post more pics tomorrow!
Our hotel is quite interesting by the way. We have 3 private rooms all on the same floor and that is all that is on this floor. So it is somewhat like an apartment. And for those of you that know me well I was happy to find the BBC on the television- first thing that came on was Tom Brady's record breaking performance!!
Bye for now.

I know all about the picnic! You're going to love the view. It was my cousin Sarah's favorite spot in Florence when she was studying there.

Awesome! The Duomo blew my mind, as did Fiesole. The stories from Cinque Terre are great, thanks for posting them! Say hi to everyone.
