Quick Note from Italy

I have six minutes to write a quick post from Florence, Italy. The trip has been awesome so far. I am quickly falling in love with Italy, in particular Siena Italy. It is everything you imagine about Italy, but better. Yesterday we woke up to a church choir singing, pretty much right outside our window.
Today.s highlight was a secret passage tour through the Medici (sp?) palace in Florence. We got to go through tunnels and see the secret chambers. We were literally going through oil paintings and hidden doors. And the tour guide was really good.
Other highlights: seeing an Italian man perform La Bamba on the steps of Sacre Coeur, going to the Eiffel tower (cliche as it may sound), all of Siena, a true adventure on the night train, and an amazing meal in Avignon.
Tomorrow off to Rome and then to Venice. Hopefully I will get another post in before the end of the trip.
Cheers!
