hotel ars roma room 201
9:30am
up early for a quick breakfast (expresso, cereal, croissant) before setting out to explore firenze.
this city is extremely beautiful — everywhere you go, or look — is quite staggering in it’s wonderfulness.
today (and everyday i’m sure) is swarming with tourists from around the world. we see replicas of statue of David, neptune, and othres in the square–walk to Duomo and to the bell tower (which we climb as well)–out of breath with so much beauty. we take probably around 300 photos in 4 or 5 hours…haha.
2:30pm
walk back to hotel for checkout and drive to roma for a few days off…badly needed…sleep on first leg of drive until stop at an autogrille for lunch (pasta, salad, red wine)…arrive in rome to extreme traffik–crazy motorcycles everywhere–it is insane here!
the hotel is modern and very nice with internet…so i’m able to finally catchup on things…and rest…
10pm
out to dinner (seabass, salad, white wine)…prepared at the table. superb. a drive around the city to view the ruins, fountains, collesium—resonating…off to bed–collapsing!
