Posted by Elizabeth. One of the hardest parts of traveling for six months is being away from our pets. We know they are well loved by Betsy, Loree and Duke but we miss them. This week we get some pet time at our lovely Italian villa. Leo likes to run and throw the ball with Xara in the olive trees. She's just a puppy and she and Leo are well matched in energy.
Today we head to the Academy in Florence for a look at David. Leo has been studying street art so we'll go from there to the studio of Clet who is the Florentine street artist of the moment. He creates stickers that he puts on street signs with humorous and political statements. It's illegal and they're removed but people love to try to spot them around the city.
We have a few more days here then we are headed to Venice. Italy feels so different than Spain. Spain was incredibly vibrant and alive. Florence feels historical--the powerful things that happened here hundreds of years ago still seep into every day life. It's a more subdued feeling than passionate Spain but just as beautiful.
