alive and well

so i watched the closing ceremonies at the USA house and from where it is situated on the PO river, you could see the fireworks going off at the stadium down the street. we had a nice dinner and hung out for a few hours wiht a few bottles of wine, a recurring theme in this trip. this update is going to be short as the computer is flashing that my time is running out. anyway, got up early the next day to catch a train to florence, everyone else left, i'm all by myself. walked around florence for a few hours where i met my new friends leater boots, yeah, i need to by a pair real bad, they're calling my name. then waited until after siesta to spend $100 at the cosa bella store on some much needed sexy underwear, i think that bought me 3 or 4 pairs. then i caught a bus to siena in tuscany where i got a hotel room, roamed the streets, had a yummy dinner and then slept for 15 hours straight. i just woke up and had a cappucino and need to sleep more, but that will do me for now. the town is so cute and amazing, i must run to see it.
