Another nice hotel stay in a beautiful Italian town.
The Hotel Executive is a block away from the Arno River, and a 10 minute walk from the Ponte Vecchio Bridge, a bustling place with merchants selling all types of Italian knock-offs. Get caught with one of those, and you get busted along with the person selling the stuff.
Ouch.
I'm planning to get up early and jog in the morning along the river, or in a nearby park, provided I can actually get out of bed as it's nearing midnight as I'm posting this. It's a great hotel, and even features a guest bed in a small room just off the main quarters.
Too bad one of you can't be with us, eh? We thought it would have been the perfect place for our daughter Katie to sleep. Sorry, sweetie. We wish you were sleeping in there. You would love seeing all of the sights - or, more importantly, visiting all the designer shops we've passed along the way.

Hey Mike- Love the photos! Tell Stan Jackson "hello" for me. I found out today he's on the trip with his wife and daughter who sings in the choir. Man, I wish I was there . . .
Guess we'd be stating the obvious to say the photos are great. We were there two years ago this same time. When you get to Pisa, see if you can get that silly tower to stand up straight! We noticed a lot of the Italian buildings leaned-guess that's just Italiano architecture. You can get great buys if you bargain hard at the market around the Leaning Tower.
Mike, you always find the beauty in every moment. I'm glad you guys are having a good time.
