Travel Day

Today we made the commute from Lake Como to Florence (about 241 miles). In Italy you travel by train whenever possible. Train travel is so pleasant. Plenty of room, no hassle, easy in and out.

On our ride, the train reached a top speed of 340 k/hr (211 mph) and it felt like 50 mph.

The highlight of the day was lunch. We finally found good gluten free food for Gary. The food was incredibly tasteful and we brought half of it back to the flat.

Our home here in Florence is an Air B&B. It is an authentic Italian flat. It is nice and quaint.

Mom wanted a purse from Italy and Florence is the place. We got in early enough to dip into several shops.Read more
