So we kept throwing around going to  visit another area of Italy. We let go of the idea of going to Spain next and decided to make that another adventure on its own with less luggage. Next time we come to Europe I am going to try and just pack backpacks for everyone b/c getting around with two kids and all our suitcases is a bit limiting when it comes to trains and small planes. Anyway, we are having so much fun and loving Florence so it really worked out.

We looked into going to Naples and traveling around there but I found myself saying well guess we can’t go here then, and too bad we didnt get to do that, or I just want to check this out before we leave…etc. Then i thought, well we really don’t have to leave yet and that is the beauty of not planning ahead.  Will agreed and to another apt in Florence we go!

This one takes the cake. Will found this place by looking the day before and it is gorgeous and in an excellent location!! It is beautifullllll! It’s so high tech that even the garbage can opens and closes itself when you walk over. The kitchen is stocked with the best cookware and there are two tvs in the kitchen alone. Nutters. This is two bdrms, two bathrooms, dining room, living room, kitchen, and views of the Duomo from the bdrm. Again, no clue why anyone would stay at Four Seasons.

So after we got home from Collodi, Pookie had bit of a fever and we spent all day friday just chillin around the house while she rested (she is now better and doing great). It was a rainy, dreary day anyway so we lucked out that way.

Dada had to do an important meeting for work so he found a coworking space to go to and try and get some faster internet for a video call. He went to a place in the neighborhood and the guy who owned it, Giovanni, wanted to take his pic and loved his story. He gave Will a sweet treat and a cappuccino when he arrived. Hilarious that a few days later Will was walking down the street and he hears someone yelling his name. He doesnt even turn around b/c he figures no one knows him here and when the person didnt stop calling out Will finally turned and it was Giovanni walking down the street. He invited Will to dinner but Will was walking home with a pack of diapers b/c we had none and also had a sick Pookie waiting here.

We basically spent Friday and Saturday just hanging out and waiting for Pookie to get better. Saturday we went out for a quick walk but that was really it. The weather was ick both days so glad it turned out that way. Today (Monday) sun is bright and shiny and everyone is healthy!
