Greetings... We made it to Florence from Rome this morning via the Eurostar train. Was a ride along a beautiful countryside. I've got lots of pictures and promise to post some tomorrow!!
I had a good birthday. Had a bottle of champagne along with strawberries delivered to my hotel room from Delaware friends (Thank you!!).... Tonight, Katie and I had dinner with 6 new friends at, of course, an Italian restaurant, and had a great time. When it came time for dessert, mine got brought out with a candle and the entire restaurant sang 'Happy Birthday' in Italian....how cool is that???
Tomorrow, we're doing museum tours here in Florence, then on Friday, a driving tour of the Sienna/Tuscany/Chianti region. I'm really looking forward to that! We then head to Venice Saturday morning.
Again, I promise some pictures tomorrow! The hotel we're in (once upon a time was a palace...seriously...) only has wireless Intenet in the lobby area, so I'm sitting in the lobby posting this at 12:15 am Thursday, thus my birthday is over in this time zone.....
Take care and sending love.
