The journey was about a 2-3 hour hodge-podge of sleep, which included a flight from Portland to Seattle, an overnight to London, a flight to Milan, then a train to Florence. We took the bus the wrong way but after an hour we found the pensione and our cozy bedroom. Sierra commented on the fact that she never would have found the place on her own (it was quite tricky)...which alerted us both to the fact that it would be good to work on Sierra's traveling and directional skills. It's not easy to get around a foreign city by public transportation!
We had enough energy upon arrival to see the duomo and eat at Whitney's all time favorite restaurant. It was funny because they gave us free Prosecco, a free appetizer platter and free lemoncello...yet they charged us for bread and water. But the ambiance was great and the food was as advertised. Thanks sis!
We are staying about 2 miles from the old part of town, so it was a quick walk home without our 45-lb bags. :)
Time to go to bed early and make up for the massive lack of sleep!
