St John Baptist is the patron saint of Florence and boy do they put on a show to celebrate him! I have seen firework shows, including several in Montreal for international competition, but last night took the cake with 4 grand finales and a forefront of a fifteen century tower and the Arno river. The display was awesome and when you thought it was over, it started again and bigger and louder and louder! Last day today! :(((( Lesson for Annie, visit to New York Film Academy in Florence and climbing the Dome. We have made wonderful friends here. I just need to say something. You see Italy with all the old buildings and cobble stone roads and you may think that this a country behind the times, well, that is not true. They use small econonical cars and we just started to using gas saving cars, every medical box here has braille instructions on top; and they preserve their buildings and we tear down our very few historical landmarks, like the beloved Ocean Forest hotel. We have alot to learn from this ancient culture.
