In the village and beyond

I love Florence!!!!!!!!
So far Florence is soo much better than Rome. It is cleaner, safer, and quainter. Everything I envisioned Italy to be. Our hostel is gorgeous and so nice, I can't believe it's so cheap and right in the center of town.
We enjoyed some Italian night life last night and all night I was being hit on by this professional opera singer.. Oh god it was too sleazy! My "friends" sure got a kick out of it so they egged him on just to get free drinks out of the situation which I refused to drink. Ha! I am a mere vehicle to them.. Anyway, Florence gets two thumbs up and we go out to explore today and leave for Venice tomorrow.
Yay!
