  2. I am a true task at hand person and so I was thinking are they getting her an apartment or just eating dessert! Hahah! glad you clarified!! The adventure seemed fun, good memory to make before she is off and taking on the world!! Good luck to your daughter on her future endeavors!

  3. Great video I love Florence such a charming City. Beth I am intrigued by individual servings of lasagna. I’ve never seen that before till now. Perhaps you could do a video on that. From Southern California with love. ♥️

  18. I notice you wear a backpack walking on the streets. Aren’t there pickpockets? I’mm always afraid so i wear my bag in front

  19. hi i'm italian, nice video!! you should do one on Siena! in my "unpopular" opinion, more beautiful than Florence (fiorentini potete pure bestemmiarmi a dietro 😆)

  20. Wow, that trip looked so fab. Thanks for sharing it with us… I’m a tiramisu super fan and my husband is mad about Italian coffee/espresso so this looks like our my dream vacation. 😊
