Florence with the Fam...

Two trips in two weeks? Am I crazy? No, the family is here as you all know, and we are making a trip up to Florence for the weekend.

Taking a train tomorrow morning, I will be in Italy still so I can update the twitter feed and maybe even blog up there.

Today we went to mass at St. Peter's for the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes. It was an incredible experience, and my first mass at St. Peter's with the Pope. Mom, Dad, and Matt joined me and I think they were equally moved by it all. I have invited them to guest-write for the week on the blog, hopefully they will agree and can share their experiences with you all.

Dinner tonight was fantastic, great recommendation through Aunt Nancy, and some great dessert too (Tartufo).

Keep checking back, I'll update as much as possible!

    Hi Ryan!
    We enjoy reading all your posts and are glad to know that your family has arrived. I am filling-in for your Mom and calling Grandma and reading her the latest posts.
    I hope you don't mind, but I have passed the site onto my Mom and Aunt Mag so they can enjoy your beautiful pictures and comments.
    Have a great weekend.

    Ry,

    Can't wait to hear about and see all your pictures from Florence! Maybe you can give us some tips for spring break since you were such a good navigator in Paris!

    Better late than never, a restaurant tip from my friend Dana (check Google Analystics for a hit from Egypt, among other places).

    "tell your family to go to this restaurant, on the Spagna metro exit. Al 34. When i was there for Popapalooza we ate there a few times, and my picky colleague and I still talk about the ravioli they served."

    Buon appetito (or whatever)
