Hello!

A quick message to say that I am safe in Florence (Firenzi). I had a marvelous time in Venice/Treviso visiting family... more on that (I have it written out, but you'll have to wait until I get dedicated internet access for those updates (I'm on a computer at the hostel I'm staying at). Some quick shout-outs:

• Jen, I found a gellateria named il penguino - it made me think of you :) I've got a picture of it for you!
• Ben, Alex, other Floyd afficionatos: last night, I hung out in Piazza dei Signori in Treviso listening to student bands play - including Floyd's Comfortably Numb.
• Katie, soooo many pictures of cathedrals & churches! Wish you were here so you could tell me about the architecture! (Nonetheless, I'm enjoying it... Venician glass chandeleirs, huge frescos, and goooorgeous mosaics)

There's some more specific things, but for now... ciao a tutti! Baci baci baci...
