Wednesday,\u00c2\u00a0 June 8 – I decided to get brave the last morning in Florence and walked to the Doma which is not that far from the hotel; maybe 5 blocks, but through winding back streets. I found a great little shop that I hoped would open in time for me to shop before we left, as this was at 7 am. I took a picture of the end of the block so I could find it again. Well, sure enough, I could never find my way back to it. I must have gone in circles, because that street never appeared again. I ended up walking to the train station and taking a taxi back to the hotel. No shopping! That was one of my big disappointments that I couldn’t get any souvenirs; we left too early in the morning and got home too late at night. They need to give a person a day for shopping at these workshops. Here is the shot that I took of the street. I found that there are very few signs to tell you where you are. No alley’s, just lots of back streets and most are one way. I can not imagine driving here. I guess that is why you see all the scooters, bikes and cabs. There definately is no where to park. We had to walk 6 blocks with our luggage to even get to the hotel.<\/p>\n
