From Ravenna, we hopped back on the train and got to Florence at about 9 that evening, after a slightly delayed train. Our apartment was literally on the square of the Signoria, which still kind of boggles me. Thankfully the window was facing towards the back of the building and was four flights up, and even more thankfully there was a teeny

The demon is definitely fabulous in the "Fabulous, dahling!" sense... *laughs*

I remember the food in Florence being sensational.

So glad you've had a good time!

Yeah, going to Florence is a trip into a fabulous array of food. I hear Bologna is like that too...next time!

I love your travel posts - and I hope this doesn't sound too creepy, but I have to tell you that I now have a total fantasy about an alternate world where I could travel to Italy along with you and get those historical lectures about famous assassinations, etc., in the different monuments we visited!

Those particular tassels were GIANT. I wouldn't be surprised if they were Daleks in disguise! They had them in sizes all the way down to tiny little ones.It was difficult to resist flinging ourselves into a pile of them and never surfacing.

Thank you for the nice words :)
