Backpacking (Western) Europe

Day 2:

Guido gave me free breakfast this morning, but he even called in an accommodation to a hostel his friend worked for down the street. He walked me there, checked me in, then gave me the address location to the second hotel he was working at that morning in case I wanted to stop by to use the internet for free. Again. Che simpatico

After checking in, unpacking, and accepting Guido's internet invitation, we said our goodbyes and I headed to Spizzico for lunch.

After lunch, I walked around Florence and did some of the more 'touristy' things this time around. When I lived in Siena previously, Jill and I would come to Florence quite often, mostly for dinners, shopping, partying and hanging out with our bfs. I never really did anything during the daytime until today.

That night, this Russian girl staying in my room let me use her cellphone to call Jilly since my crappy Italy mobile wasn't working. I met up with Jill and Tomaso where we relived our drinking days at Shot Cafe. Though I told Jill and Tomaso not to mention my visit here to Marco (my former Italian flame), he 'coincidentally' shows up an hour later at our destination. The plus of him showing up, and being around 2 Italian guys that didn't speak a lick of English brought back my Italian real quick.

Day 3:

I stayed with Jill at Tomaso's place tonight. We chatted, had dinner, drank liters of vino and the next morning, Jill and I hung out and caught up while Tommy went to complete his military hours at the office.

Awww...I miss you two crazy kids.
