World Cup Tips from Florence

Bona Sera!
We already knew what the result of the first world cup semi final would be. You see, Emily and I have been bringing good luck to every country we visit. When we were in England, they won their games. We moved to France, and they won too! Now we've been in Italy and they've won all their games and are now in the final. As we'll still be in Italy for the final, it's a sure bet on who's going to win.

We've been in Florence the last few days, and we're off tomorrow to Pisa and then the coast. I've spent the last 24 hours in bed with a stomach bug, but much better now! We had a TV in our room, so besides the soccer we've been watching Italian dubbed Star Trek and McCloud's daughters.

We did managed to get some art and culture in before I got sick - we went to the Uffizi art gallery yesterday - one of the best in the world. I didn't even fall asleep :)

Before that Rome was great - we have seen more arches, domes and fountains than well, ever before. Altogher having a great time, though it's pretty hot! Mid to high 30s.

Still can't upload photos!
