On day 4 we woke up early and headed to Termini to buy train tickets and catch our train. We couldn't get any of the machines to work at first and when we finally did we had to run to the train terminals. We kept asking people who worked there where our track was and they would just point. We went to the end of all the tracks and still couldn't find it and it was supposed to leave in 2 minutes. We asked again and finally they pointed all the way down one of the tracks. We had to run and got on just in time! The train ride was peaceful. The boys slept and watched out the window and I read some more. I love reading, but it is so hard when I have responsibilities like at home. Vacation is the perfect time to read good books.
Once in Florence we walked to this church. It was so colorful. It looked like candy! Then we walked around taking in more sights and eating lunch and Gelato. We saw lots of statues, real and fake and just enjoyed relaxing.
After the sights in Florence we took a bus up to a little town on the hill and just enjoyed the view for a while. Then we saw a sign for a hike, so we hiked for a while and enjoyed the outdoors. The boys ended up throwing rocks for like half an hour. Boys will be boys, no matter the country I guess:)

We rode the bus back down to Florence and tried finding a good gelato place, but ran out of time. So we got pizza from this restaurant and ran(again) to catch our train. The wait for the pizza and running to catch the train were worth it. It was delish!

We had fun in Florence, but we were on sight seeing overload, so things weren't really sinking in anymore. We sure did get lots of exercise though with all our running to catch buses, trains and subways!
