Sylvie and I went to Florence today. We walked up to the train station, then hopped on the high speed train to get there. It took about 1:30 minutes to do so. The purpose of the trip was not to see the statue of David. Rather, Sylvie wanted to go shopping.
When we got to Florence, it was raining. It continued to do so on and off the whole time we were there. We managed to stay dry for the most part, but we got soaked walking back from Ponte Vecchio back to the train station. I had brought my Arc’tyrex rain jacket, and Sylvie had a rain poncho, so our upper bodies were spared the water.
My alarm went off while we were at the Ponte Vecchio, so we had to walk back quickly to the train station. There was some confusion about where we were supposed to sit. The train we were supposed to be on was changed, as was our seating. No worries, we sat elsewhere and dried off as the train rolled on. It was not raining in Rome when we got back.
