Florence

Let me just start off by telling how appalled I am that I have yet to finish my honeymoon blogging yet. I think subconsciously it is because finishing my blog about it would mean that the trip is officially in the past… over.. and that, my friends, makes me oh so sad. But all is okay, as I know this was certainly not our last major trip. Hardly… haha S0o0o0o0o0o0o….. save the best for LAST

ITALY WAS AMMMAAAAZZZZIIIINNNNGGG……

Mark and I woke up super early to catch our bus in Florence. It was soooo worth it. The ride to the center of Florence was about two hours or so. The drive was beautiful. I have to say that I learned a great lesson while I was visiting places all over Europe this spring semester. DON’T FALL ASLEEP IN BUSSES! The bus ride is just as exciting and beautiful as the destination itself. In many cases, it is much more the ‘real deal’ as opposed to the stupid ‘touristy’ site you are on your way to visit. This apparently was not one of those places that I applied my knowledge. I fell back to sleep almost as soon as I got on the bus. Mark has the most comfortable shoulders ever. Haha* s0o0o0 he took many pictures of the Italian countryside while I slept soundly on his chest. ((soundly = snoring and drooling….)) how romantic... haha*

Florence was beautiful. The traffic was all kinds of crazy, but the town was beautiful!! There is a saying that Italians are the worst drivers. I beg to differ. Mark is the worst driver ever. He is always ‘hugging the line’ and not even caring. He says just because he hasn’t been in any wrecks means that he is a good driver. I.do.not.think.so…..
