Looks like I'm heading out on another adventure, though this one takes me to Italy, and purely for pleasure.  I'm terribly excited to be visiting one of the oldest and most beautiful cities in Europe; home to museums filled with the Renaissance art of Michelangelo and da Vinci.  I'm staying in a small apartment literally across the street from the Ufizzi Museum of Art, and hope to spend my days strolling among the shops, visiting the museums, and practicing my limited Italian ordering cappuccino's, cornettos, and gelattos!  I won't be leaving until late June, so I have plenty of time to practice my Italian phrases and read about the Medici's.  Until then... Ciao ciao!
