Itinerary
We arrive in Rome on May 31st at 10:45am. We will stay in Rome for four nights and leave late in the evening on June 4th.
In the evening, June the 4th, we will take Eurostar/trenitalia (fast train, about 2 hrs) to Florence where we will stay for six nights. This is where we will be able to slow the pace down, wash our clothes, take in the locals and hold down a chair for a bit.
On June the 10th we will travel again by fast train (about two and a half hours) to Venice where we will be until the conclusion of our trip on June 14th.
We will arrive back in Houston on June 14th at 7:35pm.

I love your blog and how dedicated you both are to posting frequently, but can I ask for something? A wee favor? Unless whoever is posting mentions something that the other has done, I (we) have no idea who is writing since the signature line has both your names.
I know it's dumb, but I have to hear a specific voice in my head when I'm reading your entries and unless you say who it is, I'm just hearing this collective Lisa/Anne voice in my head and it's just too much for me to handle. I'm just sayin'.
Yeah, well it's nice to know you two are out there somewhere traveling for the rest of us! Later I'm going to head out to the supermarket to behold the beauty of the frozen food aisle. (Which is to say, keep writing Italy!)
Claire...I went back and put who typed the blogs in parenthesis. From one type A plus to another type A of some degree, I totally get it. Now you can go back and re read with the right voices in your head. Ciaò, Lisa
"if she likes italian renaissance, not far from Florence (in a town
called Arezzo) there is a great exhibition, is the hit of the year,
for Piero della Francesca. the exhibition is in a museum and also in
some churches in the area."
