Everyday is an Adventure

I was worried that it would rain again today but the gods of rain took pity on us and it has been beautiful all day. Right after breakfast (about 9:45) we headed to Maiano, a town very close to the one we are staying in. Very cute and picturesque. Then we wandered into Florence. its easy to just wander in florence which is pretty much what we did all day. wander. we ended up at a couple of places that James had been meaning to see but a lot was just walking and looking around the city. at about 1 we stopped at a seafood restaurant. we had awesome mozzarella and tomatoes. Then I had lasagna and he had Gnocchi and tiny calamari. I mean really really tiny calamari. They were so cute I almost didn't want to eat them! It was a lovely lunch. we started off wandering again but I find walking like this very tiring and can't do it for very long. So we head to San Marco plaza where the buses stop. We stop in at the church of San Marco which has been turned into a museum type thing. very cool but at this point I was going to drop any second and was ready to be on a bus back to the hotel. We got back at about 4:30. Its a long day of walking! I think I had earned my nap. Now I think its time to wander up the hill and find some ice cream or pastry and coffee. :) Ciao my friends!
