Firenze: Day 1

Good morning America! Good afternoon Florence! We are checked into our hotel in the San Lorenzo district of Firenze. The lovely hotel clerk named Katiana greeted us with a smile and ENGLISH! The cab ride here was quite harrowing, but the absolute highlight of the day was listening to our cabbie give another cabbie directions (that goes to show you that even the locals don't know where everything is!). The other interesting thing is that when we got off the plane and made our way through the airport, we didn't have to check through customs. We just walked out. It was quite amusing. Our itinerary is to grab a doppio espresso, take a breather and head to the Uffizi Gallery.

Ciao
