It’s a small world .. kind of

In the end, this is a pretty small world. A good friend from Oregon contacted me and he and his daughter were also in Milan, so we met up this morning at the cathedral before we headed out. Half way across the world at the same time together, in the same city. Would have never guessed.

After that we jumped on another bus and 5 hours later we found ourselves in Florence, Italy. It’s HOT here. I stupidly had no idea how hot it gets in Italy in July … but it’s close to 100°. Glad we booked a hostel with a pool - may enjoy that the next couple of days. Pretty much from here on out for the rest of the trip we’re going to be roasting. May have to ditch the sweatshirts I’ve been carrying.

So didn’t see much of Florence yet. Just grabbed dinner, but on the way back caught a glimpse of the famous dome. Will see it up close and personal in the morning!Read more
