| Michelangelo's David |
Today seems to be a total shift from city life to the beauty of the country as they move to Florence (or Firenze). They are traveling north by not by much, it doesn't look like it will be any cooler. But it might feel cooler with more open land surrounding them. I didn't realize Florence was in Tuscany. I am so jealous of these kids right now! They can't even drink!
They will be staying at the Hotel Country Club for just one night before joining their host families on July 4th. The hotel is very different from where they were staying before. This place has space, gardens and one thing I am sure they are all waiting for: a pool. I hope they have time to jump in.I didn't hear a peep from our leader or Katie today. She did post a photo of the Trevi Fountain on Facebook. That was a pleasant surprise!

Looks like the kids are having an amazing time! I really scrutinize those pics to see if Bridget was in them but no luck.
ReplyDeleteIf I see Bridget pop up in a photo, I will send you a copy via email! I know she was a little nervous about the Home Stay too - I hope we hear from them today!
