Day 31 - Florence

Looking out from a hillside by Florence, it was probably the most beautiful sunset I have seen yet in Europe, although Salzburg was really close (especially from the vantage point of the fort). I went to church in the morning where I met Ellis and Davide. We spent the day going to churchs and walking about Florence. We stopped at Ellis;s place for some lunch (pasta, yum :) and Ellis and Davide taught me a little about leather, and I bought a friendship band to match Ellis;s. Eventually we took the 20 minute bus ride out of the city proper to the hill where we could see city meet country meet hill meet sky meet sun. After sunset we watched Venus appear followed by the stars, then took the bus back to the city where Ellis helped my find the convent where I was staying for the night. They lock the doors at 11:30 PM and there is no mercy so its best to be on time, either that or risk sleeping the night out on the streets. Don,t mess with the nuns.
