Italia

---

Today I am in Florence, Italy. We arrived here yesterday after being in Venice for a few days.

High lights...

Nutella flavored Gelatto with whip cream, CANALS instead of streets, HOMMEMADE italian journals from cute Italian couples (and perfect timing because I just finished my first journal...I write like crazy), Sunsets at the Ponte Vecchio--definitely an entry for my future sunset book, Florence Street Performers---especially when your traveling partners are a part of the show and you get sucked into being a part of it for a moment, Today's run with Mel to a viewpoint that overlooks the city of Florence...green, purple flowers, yellow homes...

Low lights (few and far between and really I feel guilty even putting this down...more just humorous bits about traveling)...

Smelling like rotton cheese because I just washed my clothes, didnàt let them dry all the way and wadded them up into my pack wet.

Expensive internet...my explanation for this abbreviated update.

I will write more from cinque terre!
