Foot Dragging in Florence
8/10/06 Florence
Well despite my idea about leaving Florence, I decided to stay a few days more. Unfortunately that means leaving my cushy hotel by the station and had to move to the rather coincidentally named Arizona Hotel. It's on the other side of town and the walk, situated in the middle of what I can only imagine is the Jewish quarter of Florence. That's the only reason for the disproportionate number of Lubavitcher Jews all over the place, the chabad and of course the rather large synagogue right next door. Also I'm not sure where else a place like "Ruth's Kosher Vegetarian Restaurant" could be in a place like Florence.
I'll head to Pisa for a day trip and then to Ravenna before I head off to Venice to wrap up my Italian tour. The best part of that is that I will actually get to cross the Rubicon! I've always wanted to do that.
