Death is a scooter…

…when you are Rome. Seriously…it’s driven by a little Italian man named Arman and he’s fucking barreling down a cobblestone street right at you. Look out!

Anyway, I’m in Rome! Today was splendid…we (being Gail, Ann, Lauren and myself) went to Florence (Firenze) to check out so much historical stuff. I can’t even begin to remember all of it…but the notables were climbing and descending 800 nearly vertical, sometimes spiraling stairs to the top of the dome at the Duomo of Santa Maria del Fiore. It was leg-killing but the view was amazing. We saw reconstructions for Leonardo’s drawings, shopped, viewed a ton of churches and walked probably 8 kilometres. It was out of control.

So, I should cut this short since I’m on Ann’s computer. I will be posting photos and videos of everything when I get back, but look for another short text post in the near future. Ciao!
