Before we left Florence, we walked around more just looking at the market where you buy fruits, another where you buy meats, and there's a bridge where you buy you jewelry. Randy didn't buy me anything though :(
Almost flawlessly found and boarded our train to Venice. It was a speed train so it was only 2 hours with two stops in between. So pretty!!! I have already taken so many pictures! I can also see why people find it so romantic even besides the gondolas. Walked around and got lost, on purpose just looking and observing. Ate dinner next to this older couple from Holland. He's teaches at a university and she was a librarian who got laid off a few days ago based on "reorganization"...sounds familiar! They told us all about the stories behind the euro currency. for example, did you know that the bills all have different bridges on them that don't exist anywhere because the E.U couldn't agree on hat should be on them. All the coins are universal buy country specific, similar to the state quarters. And...since those bridges didn't exist, Holland's king is building the bridges on the bill currency so THEY have them! :) They were so fun.
We are in Fort Knox! You start with the yellow key, that opens the gate...then orange gets you in the stairwell...silver, gets you into the hallway and finally green gets you into your room! Pretty safe I'd say. No roommates! Nice change of pace! Bought some groceries and are tucked in early (10:30). We are on someone else's network...
