Slept in today again so now we should be caught up with our missed sleep. Walked to the train station and then to Mercato Centrale. Did not go the square where all the statues are as we have done that in past years. Dow did some window shopping. We came across Pizzeria a Taglio and since our good friend Tony owns Pizza Taglio in East Liberty so we had to try it. It was very good but Tony's is better! Bravo Antonio !!!!

We included a map so you can see where we are and where the center of Florence is located. Because we are across the river our place is quiet and less expensive with many local restaurants. It is called Oltrarno (beyond the Arno).

Ha caldo oggi. Abbiamo fatto passiggiata per quattro ore. Siamo stati stanchi.

(It is hot today. We walked for four hours. We were tired.)
