Florence!

Happy Easter, everyone!

Our day hasnt been very busy thus far, actually we have spent a fair amount of our day and a half in Florence taking advantage of our really great hostel and relaxing, lazing around. Not anymore though! We are all relaxed and raring to see the city.

We are staying in Ciao Hostel, a few minute walk from the train station, right in the center of town so everything is accessible, which is great. The hostel only opened a week or so ago so everything is brand new - new showers (hot and with pressure!), great beds, great pillows, and a really great kitchen. Which allows us for homemade meals. We made spaghetti the other night and felt ike we were on top of the world! We ate it for two nights and tonight we are making baked potatoes, corn and chicken with lemon/oregano. We are really great cooks, you know! Anyway this is a short update wishing you all a happy easter, we love Florence, I am going to get to visit with Mr Sveinson tomorrow, and we had rooftop hangouts ontop of our hostel last night.

Its really great up there!
Much love,
Ash

  1. Ash, this sounds so great and making me want to be where you are! That's fantastic that you gals got to stay in a newer hostel and have a hot shower. I don't think I remember having ONE hot shower when we were there last year.

    Dinner sounds tasteful!

    Love ya,
    Happy Easter,

  2. Isn't it grand to be there when it's new! mmm pssgetti - I think I need to make some now. Had a great time with dad over the weekend, he ahd Mikey go get him a map of Europe from CAA so he could follow your travels. Mine was delivered from National Geographic this morning and it's going up in the office.

    On our way home from Mandy's after supper yesterday (this is Monday right?) Murray commented that he was so proud of you for making it happen - just to get out and explore the world. If he doesn't make school this year he may be heading for Montreal.

    Love you madly and kiss al the sweet Italian boys for me.

    ciao bella
