It's a small world...

While touring Florence, we stopped at an English bookstore in hopes of finding an Italian/English phrasebook to help us with our very poor Italian.  Not only did the store owner, Olivia, end up being from Hawaii, but she was actually from Kahuku! 

After a nice visit with Olivia, we went sight-seeing!  We went to the Duomo:

We found the Gates of Paradise:

We checked out the bridges:

And we met up with Kristina's friend Phoebe for some drinks and appertivos.  So far, we are really enjoying our Florence holiday!
