after a short train ride today we arrived in florance. im sad to leave venice, a large part of it is because our hostel was so good. it was more like staying with relitives then anything else. our "mom"s daugeter is quoted saying when she gets a boyfriend she hopes he is not like us, in a good way of course, she is 12, apparently we are immature. we went to see the david today and it was basically a sea of tourists looking at a statue, its cool and all but my mind was far from blown. its so stinking hot here and the differance is in canada you have air conditioning or can go to a basement, here its hot all day all night. you sweat when your awake, moving, sitting, chillin, and sleeping. so basically you need large water bottles all the time just to keep yourself sane. the two things im looking forward the most are our week on the beach in grease that is coming up and the boat ride we are taking from rome to get there.
