No death marches today.

However, I did DIE and GO TO HEAVEN. Yes, we found a Vivaldi concert in Venice yesterday - VIVALDI'S FOUR SEASONS!! LIVE!! So we abandoned the boys at the hotel and Dale, Katie and I went and heard this FABULOUS chamber group play at a Venetian church. I was just the most awesome thing ever. We can end the trip now and I'll be happy. Truly.

Venice was actually really fun and I could have stayed longer.

We had a long bus ride to Florence today. The weather here is hot, though not as hot as it sometimes can be, they say. Tomorrow is the Duomo and Michelangelo's "David". We have the afternoon to ourselves and we are trying to figure out something kid-friendly. It might be a hands-on exhibit of Leonardo Da Vinci's machines.

We had a spare hour and a half today which we devoted to laundry. Four loads, washed and dried, about a million Euros. Geesh, it's expensive over here.

Still can't load photos. Am totally frustrated.

Internet is five Euros for 15 minutes. Must go.
