well... we have made it to Italy!!! we just settled into our camp in florence and we are about to go into town. contiki has these little camp sites that we have been staying in. the ones in the french riviera (antibes) were a bit cramped and had the bare minimum but were fine and had hot showers unlike the chateau in the beaujolais wine region. we stopped in pisa today on the way here and toured around a bit but other than that we were on the coach for about 7 hours of which i slept most of because we (maily shelby who i was worried sick about ) partied a little too hard at camp in antibes last night. before we left france... we went to the Fragonard perfume factory and learned all about how pperfumes in france are made... it was cool but the smells were a bit tooo strong for those who were still not feeling so weell from the last night. my time is running out here but hopefully well update more soon!

ciao,
