On July 5th I headed off to Florence with Morgan and Elizabeth in our rental car. I had to work until 1130 but by 1230 we were on our way. At our first pit stop the cashier at the gas station cafe thought we were beautiful and wanted to know if we had babies. I think that really meant did we have families. Lol. It was interesting. We arrived in the city around 8pm got settled in our hotel and parked the car in a secure lot. We then explored the city and got some gelato because we were dying from the heat.
On Tuesday we walked around the city, did some shopping, ate some delicious pasta and risotto, and explored. Morgan and Elizabeth both got leather bags as well as some sandals and other gifts. I got some scarves and a leather belt as well as a painting. We went inside the Duomo and Elizabeth had to wear a blue smock type thing because she was "revealing" her shoulders.
We enjoyed some wine with dinner and sat outside at one of the squares and chatted.
Wednesday morning I forgot about the step in our room and kicked it super hard. I thought I broke a toe or two, but it turns out after a visit to the ER here in Garmisch on Thursday and 2 x-rays nothing is broken. We drove home in time for Morgan to work at 4 Wednesday afternoon.
It was a quick trip but fun.
