European work/vacation extravaganza ’08!!! Over the next few days I’ll be recapping our trip, which sadly is now over… sniff, sniff. I meant to post while I was on the road, but finding wifi (and finding the time to find wifi) was a pain, and when we did Ali had to telecommute for her work.

This batch of photos is from our one free day in Florence, Italy before Maria and Kalon’s wedding. Unfortunately Ali had to wear the same clothes for 48 hours because the airline lost her suitcase, but they eventually tracked it down so she didn’t get to go on a Gucci/Prada shopping spree.

Thanks to jet lag we woke up really early and wandered around town before the masses of tourists showed up. By mid-morning we headed into the suburbs on foot to explore the quieter side of the city. The endless cobblestone streets made for a spectacular walk! Ali and I have been to heaps of museums and tourist attractions over the years, so these days we get the most enjoyment out of people watching and soaking up the everyday culture (a.k.a – eating lots of good food).
