barnabas_trumanAn e-mail from my sweetie across the sea!
Good Morning!
Flights were uneventful. I got tasty goulash soup during our layover in Frankfurt, and we got here 2PM yesterday. Mr Toad's Wild Ride taxi to hotel (watch tourists dodge out of the way) annd gelato for snack. I got nougat gelato and chocolate chip gelato. : ) There is a Ben and Jerry's in the Duomo Piazza. ::sadface:: Many gelaterias, actually. We waited in a decent size line behind jr high and high school people. Cafeteria dinner = grilled zucchini, red bell peppers, pork roast slices, and roasted potatoes, with a squeeze packet of olive oil and a packet of salt instead of ketchup, salt and pepper. The hotel, Hotel Bienvieni, has internet access for 5 Euro daily, so I have got a communal access laptop with a qwerty board but the punctuation is different. My room looks out over the street and directly at a five story building. I saw a University of Florence hoodie being worn; their school's colors are pretty.
ANYWAY so today we are going to museums across the river, particularly the Pitti Palace and the Uffizi Gallery
BREAKFAST omg pitcher of espresso, plus steamed milk, orange juice, choc chip mini croissant, plus pastry cream croissant, and two plain croissants each.
Love and hugs to everybody.
Okay, must go now.
Cheers,
Hazel
