Day 7

Today we got up a little late, about 9:30, and just wandered around town. We went through the park, again, and found The Hard Rock Café. While we were wandering we got hungry so when we got closer to our apartment, we ate at this little café across the street. Oh the ravioli I had was excellent. It was spinach ricotta cheese ravioli. Also, I found out from the owner of this apartment that their tiramisu is pretty good. I’ve been here for a week and haven’t had any. I’m getting pretty mad. That is probably my favourite dessert. Tiramisu with espresso. Can we say exquisite? Okay, so we go to the clothing district. I even took pictures of places that I’ll never be able to afford. As we say, if you’ve got to ask the price, you can’t afford it. Right huh? So we see the windows of Gucci, Dior, Valentino, Hermes, etc. God, I want a Hermes scarf. I want one so freaking bad. Maybe for my own souvenir, I can get one. We’ve got about half of our shopping done for people. I’ve just got to get the Hard Rock shirts, and a couple of small things. Also, I’ve got to get some pens for the people at work. Nothing fancy, just something from here. I’m on the bed typing this and I’m about to fall asleep. It’s only 4:10 and we’ve done almost everything we can do. We’re headed to Florence in the morning to met Mel again and she’s going to show us around. I can’t wait to see her again. She’s such a sweetie. We also get to meet her dad, sister and cat. The one thing I hate here is the washing machines. They’re microscopic compared to what I’m used to. There are no dryers here either. So, we’ve been wearing line dried clothing. Fun huh? And just to be mean to Cliff, I haven’t been putting fabric softener in the washing machine. Mean huh? Line dried clothes don’t really bother me. I grew up wearing the things. I’m off to take another load out of the wash and put another in. I’ve done 2 loads every night for the past 3 nights. Pictures will be taken of this machine from hell.
Ciao!
