Florence -- Day 2

---

Our International fan base is increasing by the day. We are VERY popular here in Florence (as Michelle would say). You could say we are the Court Jesters of Firenze. First of all, we would like to say a big ol' THANK YOU to our Travel Agent and Genius, Carlo from Ecoitalia for putting together such an amazing trip for us. We love you! Our entrance into Florence started with Michelle setting off an alarm in a public bathroom at an exclusive hotel by pulling a cord she thought was for flushing. Next, Michelle shut down the electricity in the hotel by using the Mothership of Ionic blow dryers while I was in the shower. The place was completely black and the Manager of the hotel had to come up to our room to get the electricity back on. I stumbled over our luggage, poured myself a cup of ambition and jumped into bed, so he wouldn't see too much. Next, the bathroom flooded.

One thing we noticed about Florence is that it's a lot like San Francisco. Fashion and gays and fashionable gays, great chocolate, and beautiful scenery.

Michelle got yelled at in front of the statue of David (you can guess why).

Have fun checking out today's pics.

Notice the chair on top of the armoire....
because it won't fit in the room with all of our luggage. We also had to eat breakfast on our bed. Perhaps you've seen our room on the latest postage stamp.

YEA!!! We got a new room
Actually, we got a 2 bedroom suite. One thing about Italian hotels is that before we came we asked for 2 beds. They give you twin beds smashed together. Whatever.

Today we're going for a HIKE.
Note my durable, practical, shiny, silvery, hiking shoes.

Only my boss, mentor, and role model would get yelled at for doing/saying something perverted to/about a well known statue.

You will never be forgotten
Hilarious!!! I think you made it clear at the hotel that you weren't satisfied with your room. I heard from a friend of Tonya you were having a off the beaten track tour, but Geppetto's burial site it is a little extreme. Thank you for you comment

Well, only Michelle could get yelled at for obscene comments about the statue of David. She was just thinking about her first boyfriend and finally got to tell him what she really thinks. See Michelle, I told you tog give him another chance! I know he still loves you. Well, about the electricity going out in your hotel; only Michelle could do that to make her point. Did you bring those converted plugs for high voltage so that won't happen again? Melinda, you are a good sport too. I feel that I am on vacation with you both walking 10 feet behind you. Mom
