On Florence
Florence has a very different feel to it than Rome. It’s less busy and has less tourists; the entire city of Rome carried a kind of party-ish feel. Sophisticated and cultured, but still full of exuberant energy and indulgence. Florence felt more philosophical.
Our hostel was very nice, another private room and bathroom. I took advantage of that and slept for a few hours after we arrived. We walked around the city for several hours at a leisurely pace. The only real problem I had was my right contact lens, which was itching and burning my eye. We had to stop at a pharmacy to buy contact solution but it still stung, so I ended up taking out the lens. I tried putting a drop of solution in the lens but it blew away and I had to focus out of one eye for the rest of the day, but it was okay. I still saw everything I wanted to see. Since I’m so behind on this blog I will just post some pictures and captions. Enjoy!
