I went to the gym this morning to get in an 8k run on the treadmill. Thankfully the sun is out today but because I am running 9 miles outdoors tomorrow I decided to give my knees and feet a rest from the cobblestone and do my training on the treadmill.
On the way to the gym I am was almost hit by a man with the Carabinieri. He was pulling out of the station and then going the wrong way down the street. I have a lot of things to dispute with the Carabinieri and this is just one of them. Often I find them NOT FOLLOWING the law resulting in almost accidents etc. (the carabiniere is a branch of the armed forces that polices the military and civilian populations.)
Finally made it to the gym safely. This afternoon it was full of young Americans representing the USA! One girl had on a t-shirt that said, “I came, I conquered, I puked” while her friend wore one that said “ Be Wize……Condomize”. I wonder why American students here in Florence have a bad reputation of being drunks and easy. Hmmmmm…… what gives anyone that thought?
After the gym I stopped by the Four Seasons to visit Maurizio where I witnessed a man riding down Borgo Pinti on a unicycle while holding his 2 year old in his arms! Now that’s some talent. I saw him make it down the road and out of sight without falling.
Making my way home from the Four Seasons I passed the park in Piazza Massimo d’Azeglio where I saw, for the first time in person, a Chinese Crested Dog. It was repeatedly trying to hump its owner’s leg and when it was pushed away he dry humped the air for a good minute, it could have been longer I stopped watching!
Just another day in Florence……
