Moving Right Along

So right now we've just checked out of our hostel in Firenze (Florence, but I'm trying to call things by their native name), and we're going to wander around the city until 6pm. They say "all roads lead to Rome", and in this case, so does our train.

We've had a great time here in Firenze; it started out kind of rocky, but the city grew on us. One of the highlights of our stay was seeing the original (and both copies) of Michelangelo's "David" -- wow. It's really impressive in person, and well worth the wait and fee. I even managed to snag a (crappy) picture of me with it -- difficult to do with guards screaming at everyone not to take pictures.

Limor's highlight was eating Italian pasta. Actually, it was my highlight too.

We also drove around Toscana (Tuscany) for a while, courtesy of our good friends Amit and Sagiv, who joined up with us for our first two days here. It's always fun seeing people you know in other countries.

So, the internet/computer here isn't the best, and we're running out of time, so we'll try to upload some more pics/audio/blogs in Roma.

For now, ciao bella!
