Monty Python And The Quest For The Jersey Shore

AKA Florence.  Like Monty, we got arrested before our mission was complete.




... kidding.  




We wanted to take a day trip for one of our days in Rome since we had an extra day on our Eurail passes. We looked at the time table, and when we saw Florence, Alice's eyes literally lit up.

Alice: Do you know what is happening in Florence?
Me: No.  Italian things, I presume.
Alice:  They are filming the Jersey Shore.
Me: Sweet.
Alice:  ..................
Alice: WE HAVE TO GO FIND THEM.

And so, we went to Florence.  We looked up where the cast was working this summer, which happened to be a pizza place.  We got there and for the life of us could not find it.  We walked around for about two hours, finally had to go into an internet cafe to find more directions.   

After that epic journey, we arrived.

Figure 9.1 - Wow, so glamorous. 

Guess who wasn't working that day?  YOU GUESSED IT!!!

Figure 9.2 - Medium fail face.

We ate there anyway, and over the course of our meal saw some pals who were clearly doing the same thing we were.

Figure 9.3 - We could be wrong.  High heels, tight shirts, and short skirts ARE normal afternoon attire.

After lunch we did some more respectable things, like look at architecture and what not.  We did a...mediocre job.  

And that was Florence.  Stay tuned for some Roman adventures.
