From Venice to Florence

Another quick post from an internet cafe. We've now gone to Venice twice from Ferrara by train. The ride is actually quite scenic, at least to me, who's never seen the Italian country-side. Up til yesterday, we hadn't really left Ferrara much because in addition to me not feeling well, Joey got the flu and was up all night with it. It hasn't been good karma health-wise. And one thing they don't tell you about is that it is mosquito-city here. I am covered in welts from blood-sucking bugs! Bring bug spray if you come here :)

Now we are in Florence, just arrived, and about to set off exploring. Just waiting for Mike to finish up his email. Tomorrow we have appointments to see the David and also to go to the Uffizi. The train here was also very nice. Through the Tuscan hills.

The previous three days or so have been filled with little jaunts around Ferrara itself. It is an interesting little city. I'll have to write more about its history some other time. Ciao!
