Italy Day 4 - Welcome to Firenze (Florence)

I think I'm going to like this hotel. It's got my initials on a gold plaque outside the door!

Another beautiful day here, sunny and warm. We took the Eurostar train up from Rome. It travels up to 120 mph! Took 90 minutes to get here. You can tell the train is moving fast because we're moving faster than the cars. And the Italians speed like crazy!

And look at our room.
And the view from the window. We had lunch under those white umbrellas over there. In Rome they have lunch "hour" every day from 1pm to 3pm. So we had our 2pm lunch. The banks and many of the stores are closed for two hours every afternoon! Our dinner tonight will be 9pm or so.
