It's still Christmas in Italy...


After that great dinner at noon, I had a couple of mandarin oranges at about 21:00, and that's it... I walked from Rapallo to S. Margherita at about 16:00, returning to Rapallo at 18:00. Still felt full:) I walked through town and there were some shops and bars open, and a few restaurants on the main street along the bay, and many people out walking.

I made a reservation (talked on the phone with a fellow who spoke no english!) in Firenze for tomorrow for 4 nights at the Hotel Costantini--right across the street from the Duomo (thanks for the tip, Gina!). Got the train schedule on line and will leave Rapallo at 10:27, change in Pisa, and arrive in Firenze at 13:33. One of the trains is a rapid, IC train... the train system is so great here, and even the regional trains run on time. It is such a great system. I have learned to look at the list of stops so that I know the 1 or 2 stops before my destination--I still get nervous, afraid that I will miss my stop! Not so on a route that I have traveled before, though. Buona notte, tutti!
