An Italian Relaxation

Today is a free day and so far it has been the best day yet. Ok, maybe I'm exaggerating, but sleeping in, having a late breakfast in my pjs and not even know what my plans are yet. Well, that's a lie, I have plans. But they are relaxed and flexible and I love it.

That's not to say I've caught up on sleep, because who can in squeaky hotel beds, but it's ok. I'll catch up soon enough!

I did get to see plenty yesterday, though! The walking tour, though it was beyond ridiculously hot, was nice. We saw so much - including the Santa Croce, definitely the best part. We saw the graves of Michaelangelo, Machiavelli and Galileo, as well as many others. Really legit. I didn't have my camera, but the sights were still lovely. And I looked super cute with my shoulders and knees covered (using a scarf as a sarong). The guard laughed at me, but I was allowed to go inside so I didn't complain. I'm pretty sure someone took my picture in my ridiculous outfit, so don't worry, you will get to see it later.

Last night, the day just got even better when we had a true Italian dinner. None of the staff spoke any English and that's how you know the food was lovely. The vino and limo cello were too :) the night ended peacefully on our hotel's rooftop garden, sharing stories and nothing too terrible.

Well, the day is about to begin, so I must be off. Talk to you again soon!
