Howdy Yall!

Good morning. I hope neither of us had any snoring strangers in our rooms last night. Oh wait, I did. And its not like that for all you gutter balls. This is hostel life, its rough. Ok onto pics.Yesterday my new biff Katie and I climbed the chapel dome here in Florence. It was a lot of stairs. Tiny, claustrophobic, coma inducing stairs. But it was worth it!
The view of Florence from the top.
I think we might climb that tower today. Who knows...
Katie and I at the top! Woohoo!
Here is a view of the inside of the dome. It was gorgeous, and we had to walk around this tiny ledge on the inside to get to the top on the outside.
I finally got to be dressed up for dinner last night. Ok, dont judge. I bought that shirt in an Italian gypsy thrift store!
This is my buddy Alex. She is soooooo funny. I love this girl, she brightens my day. (so I just wrote that, and then I looked at the pic, and she looks sad in that pic, but she is just making a funny face. She is a very happy child. Scouts honor).

Here is all of us at dinner last night. We went to a dinner theatre and had 25 dish "buffet." The buffets here aint like western sizzlin. There are no lines. (Gasp!) So you kind of have to dig your way into the table to get the newest dish. Hey Mom, tell Nana that I was "younger and faster."
Ok, today we are going to the Michelangelo Mueseum to see the David in all his nudist glory. Really, what was old Mickey thinkin about when he carved that thing nudie? Didnt he know it would make those with less adequate bodies have image issues?

Okay, Love you. Gotta go brush teeth. Ciao! -Israel

Oh and thx Gretchen and Penny for following me. I always knew you would one day see the light. :)
