Italy for Christmas

its been a bit crazy. the biggest problem is that our luggage (backpacks) is lost. it has been almost 48 hours and no sign. also there was also no record of our hotel reservation here. we got a room fine and are now triple checking our other destinations.

we rented scooters yesterday. Florence is a much bigger city than i imagined. very busy. cars everywhere, scooters everywhere. Rome must be nuts. we will have the scooters until Thursday. Friday we go to Pisa, Saturday off to sienna.

today we go to the ufizzi. this will be our first real day of being tourists. we may also have to buy a whole new wardrobe. ugh and some kind of luggage. i hope they find our stuff.

internet is pretty limited. i hope to find a good internet cafe where i can use my mac. im using the hotels computer now. i also can not find the apostrophe on this crazy Italian keyboard.
