Hello from Florence, Italy!!

Here are some photos from our first two days in Italy. The weather is very hot (temps in the 90s) but Florence is a beautiful city and the Italian people are warm and friendly. The food is wonderful too! We are enjoying ourselves but we miss the kids very much. Thank you, Mom and Dad Falcon, for taking good care of them while we are away!
