Pros: Lots to explore. Easy to get around on foot. Beautiful. Cons: Very crowded in summer. Expensive. Road muffins everywhere you don't look.

This is an as it happens journal of my trip to Florence, Italy. I decided to write it as it happens instead of when I get home, because our hotel has a computer. I enjoy writing and it gives me something to do when I can't sleep. So here is ...
