Better late than never!
Sorry it has been so long since my last post. My mom and I have been very busy these last couple of days and I have had no time to write. So far we have been having an amazing time. We spent 3 days with our friend Rhonda and her husband Gilles in a little village outside of Narbonne. They showed us a fabulous time in France and we got to see all the local villages and the not so tourist attractions. It was exactly how you would picture the old French countryside. There were miles of vineyards all around with quant little villages. Southern France was such a beautiful place and I look forward to coming back to visit the Northern part as well. On Thursday, they drove us to Barcelona and we stayed there for 1 night. We left early Friday morning and flew into Milano. We spent the afternoon there and then headed to the train station to go to Florence. It took quite a while for the trains to go because of the strikes going on, but after sitting for 1 1/2 hours it finally got going. We arrived in Florence late last night, got to our room and passed out! Today we had a walking tour of the town and went to the museum where the have the statute of David. It was magnificent! We still have 1 more day in Florence then we will be off to Sienna.
