Europe Trip: Day 19, June 8th

For one of the first times of my trip I got to sleep on a real bed, and I got to sleep in late! It was sinful how lazy I was that day. Marco came home from visiting his parents in another city, and made pasta on his lunch break. After that I waited until my hosts (Andrea and Marco) came home, and they picked up 2 Polish girls and 2 Polish guys from the train station.

We all went out that night, Andrea had promised to give us a tour of the city. We had planned to meet at the Duomo, but Marco decided that it would be better if we went to a spot that overlooked Florence from above. It was quite a view and we sat on some steps and Andrea brought out some bottles of wine.

Then we wandered around the city until late in the night/morning.

Sadly, I actually didn't get to see many of the tourist sights of the city. I saw the outside of the Duomo, but never got to go inside. I walked over a couple of the famous bridges at night, but didn't get any pictures. So for me, Florence will be more about the people than the sights.
