Alive and in Firenze!

Bobby and I are currently sitting at an internet cafe in Florence (Firenze) after eating dinner at a local restaurance, watching South Africa play Mexico in the world cup. We had to get a new sim card for our phone, so won't be able to make/recieve calls until tomorrow. We loooove Florence! Its so pretty, and not at all crowded! The place we are staying is...interesting. The room itself is nice and air conditioned but its not really a hotel, or a bed and breakfast (which I thought it was)_. Hard to describe.

Rome was nice, we did tons of walking and had a great tour yesterday with Alex, the tour guide of "lovers of Rome." He took us down to the Catacombs, where we explored with only a flashlight, and "against the rule of the Vatican." It was dark, scary, but a powerful experience. you can almost feel the ancient energey pouring from the different tombs. We then went to the Vatican, and saw the most amazing museum, and the Sistine Chapel. It was gorgeous!

Hopefully all the walking will equal out the amount of pasta I've been eating. And wine, and pizza. whoops.

Out of time, hopefully we won't have to pay for internet at some point of our trip!
