Day 2- Arrival in Florence

Today was all about first impressions.

I had margherita piazza for lunch.  When people visit foreign countries, and by people I mean Americans. They say they drive like maniacs over there.  But I disagree.  I think they're excellent drivers.  They come within inches of moving pedestrians and bikers without even flinching.  And the parking spots they manage to get into.  I think maniacs would be a lot less calculated and cause many more accidents.

I cracked my Ipod Touch Screen within 10 minutes of arriving in Florence.

I had an authentic Firenzen dinner.  First meal, gnochhi, Second meal: Duck, Pork, Chicken, Third Meal: White beans with creamy tomato sauce. Paired with a nice vino rossa.

Here's the big news.......... I stopped my first attempted pick pocketer! That  d-bag got all reachy up in my area and I totally slapped his hand and spin moved.  Unfortunately the old lady behind wasn't quite as agile and fell prey to the vengeful napper.
Score:
Josh: 1
Nappers: 0
Old Lady: Not getting any younger
