The Soonly

I know that I still have a month left until I go to Florence but I have been doing alot of reading about Florence and how things work abroad. I thought I might fill in my few readers on some of the interesting things that I have learned. Florence is still an archaic city. They do not accept plastic anywhere. Pick pockets are rampant and the only thing in your wallet is cash. Sounds like a recipe for disaster. Florence has two currencys; the euro, which every other nation in europe (except the snotty English) uses and the Lira. The citizens of Italy and especailly Florence love their lira and some shops only accept them. The conversion rate is a standard exchange rate is 1936.27 Lira to 1 Euro. Sounds silly.
