Our final stop in Italy is Florence. The glamorous city is abuzz with tourism and, consequently, commerce in these Spring months.
The famous San Lorenzo leather market is bursting with colorful scarves, leather jackets and bags.
You don’t get to feel a city’s pulse until you’ve been trapped on a few of its highways. To understand what I mean, do this: wake up in the fog-dipped countryside, speed through the open space of sparsely populated fields, then past the first signs of industry – factories, pristine and painted in candy colors or splattered with graffiti, past car dealerships and low-income suburbs, until the highway is choking on traffic and you’re stopped at a toll booth, the humming city emerging at this final checkpoint. Now we’re ready to enter Rome.
