Hey, Steve and myself had a blast in Florence and Siena. Eating very well at Trattoria al Trebio twice, even though I was succmbing to a severe, three day bought with food poisoning. Beware of the unrefridgerated sandwichs (chicken) in the store fronts. In Siena, we both barely made the train back to Florence, running across the Binario as the train was literally rolling out. The engineers were hanging out of the window, saw me point, looked at eachother, nodded, and we sprinted toward the first coach. In one leap we made the door, opened it, and laughed. Then, later, the conductor got on my case for not validating the ticket, like i really had time. Sheesh. Any way Steve, it was cool, and thanks again for the medicine to combat my dysentery. Go to Perugia in the Umbria region, it's really cool. Ciao, Paolo
