Is it starve a cold and feed a fever? I don't know - how about just drowning it in wine instead

Wednesday night...Snow in Florence!

I think this must be unusual since even the locals were taking pictures.

We had a very long day on Wednesday. SHOPPING...finally. I bought some amazing things, including a squeak toy for Sophia, and a clear raincoatr with pink trim. She will look fabulous. I have been looking at all of the dogs here and petting some of them.

I have been trying to get rid of this cold or whatever, yesterday went to a farmacia (pharma-CHEE-ah) and got sore throat drops. Found an English speaker there. Went back this morning for cough syrup and expectorant, the gunk is moving south.

Almost out of time here so must jet for now. Will try to be back and post more. I still must talk about the amazing concert we went to last night, adn walked back in the snow to our hotel. And this morning...it's so beautiful.

Ciao!
