We had a four bed room but there was no one to occupy the fourth bed so we had it all to ourselves. It was a really nice place with a kitchen and two bathrooms on each floor and once we got into our room we opened our window up and let in the beautiful Italian breeze. (We got very lucky with the weather for the remainder of our trip.)
The front desk worker recommended a nice restaurant where the locals go down the street but when we arrived there it did not appear to be open. Instead we found a lovely restaurant by the train station and I had the best pizza that I had in Italia. The sauce on it was just fantastic. Frau Curry* and Britt got ravioli which I understand was also very delicious.
Brittany had a friend from high school that was studying abroad in Florence, Lydia, who had volunteered to show us around which was really nice. I also discovered something while in the night air of Florence- I love Florence! I was an amazing city which adorable streets and shops everywhere you turned. We also got gelato and had a fantastic first night in Florence.
Rubbing the noise on this wild boar statue ensures a return to Florence.
*Stacy has been given the nickname of Frau Curry ever since she got a letter from the German government addressed to Frau Curry. And why did she get a letter from the German government you ask? She got a ticket on the train in Berlin for not having a valid ticket and she did not pay it before leaving the country. Frau Curry thought that they did not have her home address but they seem to have tracked her down. Since the first letter she has gotten one more that seemed to have a harsh tone and it leaves us with the question- when is she going to get a knock on the door in Naperville from two angry looking Germans?
