Day 6

This was the only picture I got of us rolling our suitcases from place to place. We stayed at three different hotels (three different countries), a night train and two nights on the plane. We covered a lot of ground in 10 days!! First night on the plane, next two nights in London, two nights in Paris, the night train, two nights in Italy then the last night flying home. We got home at 4am on Tuesday morning-two hrs later went to Denny's then flew out of st george to go to slc to get our kids and an hr later drove home. We came home to a BUSY week! Science fair project, Spoke at the MTC stake experience, gave a lesson in church, cooked Asian Chicken Salad with Chef and Emily.
Cam is sporting our tour radios. The were nice to have but a lot of times the tour guide was really hard to understand with their strong accents.
Florence really was one of our favorites and we only spent a few hrs there before we took off to see the Leaning tour of Pezza which was amazing as well. The tower Represented the Holy Ghost. The Baptismal font represented Christ and the Cathedral represented God. Florence had fun shopping. Lots of Leather shops! It is know for it's leather. I was excited to find my mom a nice long leather coat. and I am sporting my white leather find.

The story of Pinocchio originated in Florence.
This is where I want to come back to ride a bike and go on a small boat ride. The streets again were amazing! I think this is where we got our first Gelato of MANY-almost 3 a day when really it tasted just like soft serve ice cream but you just had to in order to get the full experience-so im told :)
This was AMAZING-just in the middle of the street and it will be washed, walked and brushed away. He was amazing to watch. It was so neat to see so many people developing their artistic talents. In Utah it's mom's crafting I guess.


Really cars like this EVERYWhERE and then you go to the states and everything is HUGE. We did not see one mini van or suburban! I used to not really care for these small cars but your perspective changes when you see another world or them.




We were so hungry and after we were fed just a slice of brochette we were ready to go somewhere else but then they brought us out lasagna and a lot of it. We still walked the streets after and got a gelato.
