Oh boy! It's been a long day! This morning we got up pretty early to catch our train to Florence. It was not a long trian ride, only about 2 hours. When we got into Florence it started raining which wasn't too fun considering that we had all of our luggage with us. It's all part of the experience right? We walked to our hotel and when we got there, there was a mix up in booking our rooms so we got moved to a sister hotel to the one that we were supposed to be staying in so we walked a few more blocks to the hotel and put our things into two rooms because they hadn't finished getting the rooms ready for us. In the mean time Darrin showed us a few places were we could have lunch before we had our tour later on in the day. So we had lunch and looked around at some of the street vendors shops before our next walking tour. At 3 we met up with everyone for our tour, which was led by Ms. Tanya Gregory. Honestly, the whole walking tour was kind of a blurr, I was so tired! We did see some really neat things though, we saw the Baptisry doors, the Duomo, Arno River and bridges, just a pretty good walk around Florence. Florence is a lot different than Rome, the roads are more narrow, if thats possible, but they are...super skinny. The style and design is very different from Rome, Florence has more paintings than mosacis, its pretty neat. We finally got into our rooms...they are...really nice...should be an intersting next few days.
