Laundry on the move

Laundry will probably be one of the most difficult things I will have to deal with on this trip, I've come to realize. Even more difficult than figuring out how European keyboards change from country to country.

I should say a word or two about Florence. It really is amazing, but just about every square inch of it is touristy (square millimeter I guess, since I'm in Europe). The center of town can be located by the massive Duomo, a gothic cathedral that is amazingly decorated in white, green, and red marble, with an amazing facade of intricate sculptures and reliefs. From the outside, it is amazing. The dome (engineered by Brunelleschi) is probably the highest point in Florence and is quite imposing.

We climbed to the top of the dome yesterday. My legs still hurt.
