Ciao Italia

Hey Guys!!
Ally and I are sitting in a cafe in Florence using the internet for the first time since San Diego. We made it safely after two days of traveling. Our flight from DC to Zurich got delayed three hours but we had a 9 hour layover in Zurich so it didnt offset our trip. At the Zurich airport I was able to use some of my awesome German skills! Super fun. Only in Switzerland would we get swiss chocolate on the air plane :) It def. beats the pretzels or peanuts in America!
We arrived in Florence Wednesday evening. Instead of dinner, we decided to settle for Gelato :)
So far we have been walking around alot and seeing the city. We went to the Boboli gardens in the Pitti Palace where the family who ruled Florence once lived.
It is a lot hotter than Ally remembered - since she was here a year ago. Our hotel is small and quaint and up 5 flights of stairs... not fun to carry all our luggage up! The food is DELICIOUS!!! We had the best pizza and pasta last night at Ally's favorite restaurant. We also shared a caraf of their house wine!!! yummmmm.
We have met some crazy Italians - but don't worry, we havent been TAKEN! ha!
Tonight we are going to try and go to Aqua al 2 for dinner! If you guys miss us, you can always pretend youre there and go to the one in San Diego :) Tomorrow we will leave fabulous Florence for Milan. We are extremely excited to sleep in a comfy bed in our American Hilton - in Milan! Thanks mama Paur!!! After Milan we are off to camp!!! YAY!
We miss you all!!
Lots of Love,
Amanda and Ally
