Florence the great.

So now we are in Florence.

Heahter and I have been calling Italy the 'uphill' country as everything appears to be uphill. Its kinda tiring, but, sometimes more than worthwhile Like today for instance when we arrived at the top of the Bodolini Gardens and were treated to a beautiful view of the entire city.

We have seen more artwork than I will ever be able to remember and it has just been incredible. I am a bit tired from trying to cram so much into everyday, but, I feel as though each hour is precious to me.

I have also developed a theory about traffic flow in Italy. It seems as though many Italians have evolved beyond the old 'dodging mechanisms'. On the savanah, when we saw an animal charging at us, we dodged. Simple enough. In Italy, it seems as though people have forgotten dodge and as a result, oncoming traffic means nothing. So, when a car is rushing at you, with most people, we revert back to our evolutionary past, and our mind picks up a charging Hippopotamus. here in Italy, i feel like the only one who sees the Hippo.

Anyway, Italy Still Rocks, but, its hard to find a pay-phone.
