Hi folks
I thought I'd better add to my blog
We are having such fun it will be hard to leave Italy and if it wasn't for my lovely family and friends back home I would be tempted to live here.
Well we went to florence yesterday. And it is a great bustling city. Lots of youth attending university for art or language and some very fine amazing architecture. We saw the statue of David. Words cannot describe ones first glimpse of it. So tall and majestic. Lots of streets bustling with life and shopping and all moving at a fast pace.
Nice long train ride home which you can admire the countryside and see lots of gardens and houses and also some poorer areas.
Listening to italian in the train and figuring out the ticket system
Anyway off to a cooking course today so that will be fun and I will have my Tuscan meal with you when we return home so get your stomaches ready for some fine tuscan cuisine. We also had a language class last night which was great. Church bells are ringing n the distance. It's early morning. There is so much to tell I will save it for home but suffice to say we are enjoying ourselves and experiencing the highs and lows of life in another culture. Even so, overall it is great and we are looking fwd to the Venice leg of our journey.
Arrivederci mio amici e una familia
