UPDATE Sorry

Today I arrived in Florence and I really like this town. It is smaller than many other espically than that of Rome. The city is small enough in that I was able to walk around it entirely in about an hour. I am so blessed to be here and it amazes every time I just stop and think that I am in Italy. Upon arriving in Firenze from the train the first thing that I noticed was the Duomo. it is so tall and amazing that It is hard to believe that it is really there. It is also interesting to point out that the entire city is almost cpletely under the Duomo. It is the largest structure as well as it is the most grand. So in Rome it was interesting to see the different Catheridals and Basilicas this was even more amazing in that it stood completely on its own and is really the center of the town. From the train station it was easy to find the Convent and get to my room. The Convent is amazing and there is air conditioning which is a godsend in this heat. There is a beautiful garden in the center of the piazatza that is taken care of by the sisters. I will definitely enjoy staying here! The day should be busy and jam packed tomorrow so I will let you know how it goes!

Florence Day 2:

I am constantly amazed by this city. Even though it is easy to see the American tourist's influence upon the city the actual character of the city shines through and there is so much culture that eminates throughout the city. Today Started with the amazing Frisole, which as a small town is amazing and has such great views of Florence. It is easy to understand why the city started here due to its views that see the entire valley on both sides. It is also amazing and like nothing other to feel the impact of a city that is older than you have ever been in. So much history has been created here and we have little concept of how much has happened here. In Frisole we went to the Fransiscan monestary and saw the amazing church that was there.
