Tam & Peg’s Excellent Adventure

Update

Bonjorno!
We’ve arrived in Forenzia (Florence) and we are in an incredible room with a view of about 20 spires or domes on very old structures. Tomorrow we go on a 2 hour tour in the morning, then we have some free time before a tour and dinner in Tuscany. What a day to look forward to!

It’s been a couple of days since we posted because we’re running into some technical problems with voltage converters that we didn’t know we needed to bring. Apparently, there’s a law in Italy that prevents hotels from lending them to guests, so we’re without what we need. So, we are not able to charge our American batteries, including the computer, which is now dead. We have plans to go buy the converter that we need tomorrow morning and we’ll power up, charge up and upload some pictures and trip notes that we’ve already somewhat prepared about Milan and Venice… both wonderful experiences (well, except for the old woman on the train).

We’re sorry that it’s really rainy here tonight, but we have high hopes for tomorrow. We expected warmer weather here than up north in Paris so half of the clothing we packed is unused, the other half is wearing out and badly needs a real laundry room and iron.

We had a very few minutes in an internet cafe in Venice this morning to quickly check comments and-or posts, of which there were several. We LOVE those messages, so thanks.

Until tomorrow (we sincerely hope)……
