Italy Trip - Florence

November 23 - 24, 2001 (Florence, Italy)
Florence is where we met up with Jack who had taken the train down from Milan. The sites, culture and history were quite amazing. Most of the attractions were all within walking distance which made it quite convenient to get around. When we did have to drive, we literally battled the tourist crowds. Just ask Anish about driving through a sea of pedestrian tourists.
