October 15th, Florence, 0k

Another night at Michelangelo campground in Florence. Today, we walked around seeming more piazzas, cathedrals, and statues. We would probably have more interest in Florence, had we not already seen so much in smaller portions in smaller and quainter towns...and Florence was charging more for it. Also, the number of tourists present is just overwhelming. Thus, our art friends will be greatly disappointed that we did not take advantage of this city as much as we should have. We did climb up the dome of the Duomo, which was pretty impressive, ironically much like climbing our own half-Dome in Yosemite.

With news of the economy, we are exploring ways to either shorten our trip or stay put somewhere that we enjoy and can save money off-season.

This evening, our little corner of the campground was encroached upon by a large troop of German scouts (boys and girls). They talked late into the night, as we did when we were their age.
