Day 5: Travel to Florence

[days_unfolding]

I have my suitcase outside my room, and I have time to kill before breakfast.

We took the high-speed train to Florence. It was a nice ride, very smooth, and they even gave us snacks for free (hear that, Amtrak?) We had a fabulous lunch and then checked into the hotel. I like the hotel room. I went for a short walk around the block. First impressions: lots of small shops, coffeehouses, bakeries, and restaurants. I found a "Firenze" t-shirt. Then I napped.

We went on an orientation walk and then had dinner. Ow, ow, ow, my entire body aches. I’m back at the hotel and took some acetaminophen. Did I say ouch? A lot of my joints are on fire.

The acetaminophen is helping somewhat.

Went to sleep late and, annoyingly, woke up at 4:30 AM. I'll try to go back to sleep in a little while.

Scenery from the train. It was hard to take pictures because the train was moving so fast. As soon as you saw something interesting, it was gone.
