The apartment...

The apartment...

OK, location, location, location: the apartment we rented was right by the Central Market, over the Zaza Tratoria.  Super convenient--but it was really a hippie pad that my kids loved and made me feel very old : )  Last floor, no elevators, that was fine.  And no AC was ok also--if it were not for the noise on the street that made you want to close all windows and therefore get no wind...  It was tough--so, no pictures really from the inside!!

BUT...  There was a board of the game Risk in the apartment (did I say hippie pad?) and Joe insisted that we play.  "MY family never plays with me and I am in Florence and I would love to play a round of Risk."  Who can resit that?  So we  played--and he got creamed...  That is when he said he did not want to continue to play, thank God.
