We had fun on the train, Fred was amazed that it was much different than Tweetsie! It was a smooth ride at 150 mph. Florence is terrific, smaller than Rome and much more "walkable" for tourists. The hotel is great and the weather is still hot, probably around 80 degrees here today. We look forward to touring the museums tomorrow. The Ponte Vecchio is the bridge with all the shops on it and we toured it today. It is the only bridge that survived WWII and it's been standing since the 1300's. Yes, I negotiated the price of my purchases, it was loads of fun! stay tuned for more tomorrow!

Fast train to Florence
Took the fast train to Florence this morning. We have a great hotel. The room is two floors and the hotel has a rooftop bar that overlooks Florence. We were here about 10 minutes before Amy started buying trinkets. She is the negotiator! Tomorrow we tour the museums and the rest of Florence.

Really neat. I want a goofy Fred picture standing next to some ancient statute or something...Some of those male statutes would have been perfect.
