Lesson #60 Florence!

     What do you think of when you think of Florence? The worlds greatest history of art? Michelangelo's David? The prisoners? The Medici family? The famous duomo? How about ALL of those! Florence is the most amazing city, but I doubt I expected it to be THAT small. You can literally walk across Florence in less than 2 hours . . . .

     Lesson #60: Florence is AMAZING, and BEAUTIFUL, and THE PERFECT ITALIAN CITY!

Lesson #59 Transportation in other countries . . .


     Did you know the word for train in French? I DO! It's the exact same. Well, that was lucky for Kristy and I when we were stranded in Disneyland Paris and had no idea that the RER transportation was a train, not a bus . . . So in case you are travelling in Paris, the RER is a train, not a bus. Good to know . . .


     Luckily for us, I have taken 7 years of non-existent French and there was a very kind elderly french lady that helped me distinguish my right from my left and gave us directions!


     Lesson #59: Know what "train," "bus," "right," and "left" are translated into several different languages . . .
