Florence, Italy
I finally made it to Florence around 3pm and hit the ground running. I have less than 24 hours in the city and want to make sure I see what I can. Alas, it’a 8:20pm and I’m exhausted. My legs…
Venice, Italy (Part 2)
What else is here to say about Venice? Plenty I’m sure, But I’ll keep it short. I’ve spent more time on Boats, Ships & Water Ferrys this year, than the rest of my life combined- easily. I am lucky to…
