So, I am currently in an internet cafe with only 5 minutes left on my time, so I will update more later about my time in Florence.
Today is a 'vacation' day from my vacation. I just needed a day to relax and figure out where I am going to go next. You see, Venice picked this week of ALL WEEKS in the last 22 years to get flooded. Even if the water has subsided, I have heard it is really stinky and I don't want to risk the water coming back.
After looking at a few options, including going to Marseilles or Lyon in France on my way to Barcelona, I found a cheap(ish) flight from Pisa to Valencia, Spain. It will end up being so much cheaper (and faster!) than the train, as I was not too excited to be on a train for 18 hours total to Barcelona. So....I guess that is the reality of traveling...MUST BE FLEXIBLE.
I will write more later, but all is well with me and I miss everyone very much. Traveling is fantastic, but I do miss some of the comforts of home. Take care everyone!
