Final (hopefully) update on the bugs. Mike's invention of the ankle to wrist and neck tin foil suit does the trick. All new bites are limited to my neck, face and hands. Becuase the bugs had a much smaller target area, they were twice as vicious so my hands feel like monster fingers. They hurt to bend. I will be glad when whatever spiders or bugs we have encountered are in our past.
We took the train trip to Florence this morning and checked back in to the wonderful City Hotel where we felt like we were coming home. Francesco, the wonderful man who helped us arrange for crutches had our room ready with the bag he was storing already in our room. We have a room with bathroom for one night, then to get our discount rate we have to move tomorrow to a room with a bathroom outside in the hall. Oh well. We are so happy to be back in Florence. We had lunch at one of our old haunts where the chef came out to greet us again. We sat beside a couple from Ireland and had a wonderful visit.
Caitie just called. She has just finished a test in Italian which she is celebrating with a McDonald's ice cream with her roommates, then she is coming to town to meet us for dinner. She leaves tomorrow morning at 8:00 for Venice so we won't see her again until Sunday morning when we meet for breakfast before heading off to Rome for our final night and flight home.
I have updated the photos now that we are back in a hotel with wifi access. What a pleasure it is not to have to go to an internet cafe to work on the blog and e-mail. We are sitting on the bed side by side both working on our "stuff". Small pleasures.
Later,
Deanne
