Il sciopero trasporto...AHHHHH

Ok, so not to be cynical and all critical of Italia, but these strikes have got to go!! We found out yesterday at dinner that a transportation strike was planned for all day today! Yes, they plan the strikes here, about a month or two in advance, go on strike for a day, and then go back to work the next day, with nothing accomplished but a day off. So I should be on a train to Firenze right now, but it was canceled. I guess it has worked out for the best though; we get to relax tonight, have a free dinner at the hotel, save money by not staying at a hostel tonight, and have a good night sleep. But, now we're leaving on a 6am train from Termini and we arrive in Firenze at 9:51, just in time for a great day in the city. We're still visiting Siena on the way home on Sunday, but just a quick trip. The whole trip is quick, but I'm still excited to explore the two cities. Buon fine settimana!! Ciao ciao xoxo
