are we there yet?

may i just say, yesterday sucked in so many ways. missed trains, walking for literally miles.... anyway. I went to Pescara which is like a mix of king street and myrtle beach (that's the only way i can explain it).







Then took a train to Chieuti (this is where the walking came in) the train in Chieuti, isn't actually in Chieuti. I did make it there and got to see the home town of the Pintos (yay). I'll skip the drama of getting back to my hotel, but i did make it in one piece.

Today i left for Florence (where i am now) and i'll be here for a bit. I finally got some gelato yesterday and have enough pics of food i ate to be a hipster.

So I'm sitting in Charlotte Douglas on layover and I'm bored...
