Bye, Rome

I feel almost too sick to write an entry today, so I'm going to give a cursory outline which I will hopefully fill in tomorrow:

1.) Took the Eurostar to Florence
-Information guy only speaks Italian
-comfortable ride through the Italian countryside
-lots of sunflowers and forest. Also saw a trailer park.
2.)Found hotel
-was within walking distance, so no taxi
-another strange elevator
-curfew at 1:00am
3.)Ate Lunch
-got lost a lot trying to find the restraunt, finally followed directions from a
little old lady.
-numbering system sucks
-food good
4.)Went on a ride-around taxi
-pay by hour, not by person
-One seat was smelly
-people in back can't hear
5) The Tour
-Saw Piazza Michelangalo
-Beautiful view
-Got umbrella with Botellici's Rite of Spring on it
-Saw oldest church in Italy
-Medieval style carvings
-More my type of religious contemplation(sans graves)
-hard not to step on graves. must walk on marble strip.
-Saw another church

Feel sick so must stop on the tour. Dad and I seperated and went to the Academia. Saw David.
