Florence – Free day


Walking around today, I just tried to absorb the culture and see the difference between Florence and Milan.  Florence is so beautiful and more of a country side while Milan is the big city feel.  But I have to say, I expected the people who live in Florence to be nicer than those that live in Milan.  I was completely wrong.  Nobody slows down when you’re crossing the street (if anything they speed up).  And they don’t even step to one side of the sidewalk while passing by.  Instead they walk straight through you and never look back.  It took a little getting used to, but once you get used to it and learn to stand your own ground, its not all that bad.
