    Hitting The Wall On Traveling

    October 8, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    I made up that title to grab you and you’ll hear us talk about this in today’s video but honestly we are good and navigating through the little speed bumps that arise when in another new place where people don’t speak the language and there are MASSES of tourists! And you know our lifestyle…living in Beulah, Colorado with days of not even seeing a neighbor! But we’ve got our city walking shoes on. And we topped 25,000 today.

    The place I booked to stay in Florence you’ll see here in the video and photos. It’s a Sobe that is on the top floor of an old building and the marble hallway leads to our floor with high ceiling rooms plus a balcony! Mind you, clean is relative in Europe and I did have to specifically request 4 pillows. There are no blankets… it’s hot and we sleep with a sheet. If you want more towels it’s $3 each. This was rated an 8 of 10 on booking.Com and the Innkeeper from Bombay was so nice at check in. We are a 30 min walk to train station and we’ve been out after dark and feel safe. Upon Diane and Glenn’s recommendation we carry our passports and ID in our secret lockdown belts! I
    We feel good about supporting the local innkeepers rather than the corporate hotels plus we have sweet interactions that feel authentic.
