Alas, all good things must come to an end, and by the time this posts our Italy vacation will already be over. With my family already back in the United States, Jess, the baby, and I had one final day alone in Florence to enjoy the sights. Spoiler alert: we ate a lot of gelato.
The Worst Thing About Tuscany…
Is the mosquitos! I got eaten up which is to be expected out in the countryside, but here in Florence it’s no better! I spent the first ten minutes in our new hotel hunting and killing mosquitos. Blood was spilt as I killed some. Unfortunately, I’m pretty sure it was mostly my blood. Anyway, if you ever come to Florence and Tuscany, bring bug repellant. Baby M doesn’t really seem to care, and they seem to be going for the big people’s blood, so that’s good…I guess. [Read more…]
Arrivederci, Tuscany!
Relaxing in Tuscany
Well, if there’s one thing you can rely on in Europe, it’s spotty wifi. The house we’re staying in here in Tuscany is no exception, but it’s so beautiful and relaxing here it doesn’t really matter. We have been relaxing by the pool and slowly exploring the beautiful hill towns in the region – and drinking lots of wine. Baby M has good nights and bad, but overall despite how tough things are at times, she seems to be enjoying herself and I’m happy to see how stimulated she is by the new environment. She even went swimming for the first time! Anyway, due to the intermittent internet I’ll just post a few pictures.
Pantheon, Pizza, and Pasta
Well, we’re almost done with Rome. I haven’t uploaded all the pictures yet, so I’ll just hit yesterday’s events in today’s post. It was a lot of fun, and a lot of walking!
