Firenza Italia

Yesterday morning we went back and took a tour of the Synagogue museum and Jewish Ghetto area of Rome. It is pretty much non-existant anymore since they have changed a lot of that areay, but it is still the jewish quarter in town, even though there aren't that many Jews. After we spent the morning in the Jewish area, Miles and I said goodbye to Jacob and Austin, and left them in Rome as we took a train to Florence.

Upon arriving in Florence, it was quite chilly, and we went to where we were staying. We're "roughing it" here is Florence at a campsite. It is on Michalangelo hill overlooking the city. The view is gorgeous, and we're staying on cots in a tent. It was REALLY cold last night sleeping, but the campsite is pretty cool. Some people come with their RVs or personal tents, but many like us just get the key to a tent and use it.

Today we have been walking around Florence which is a great shopping city, and the art is amazing as well. Tomorrow and the next day we're taking day trips to Tuscany, but we're not sure where yet. Definitely Sienna, but not sure for the second day. On the 12th, we'll take time in the city again, and then head for Venice. More to come of course soon.

Take care of yourselves, and don't miss me too much!!
