We got tired of Freda so we sent her off to Korea, then we partied at the Aloha Festival in the Presidio. We consumed large portions of Kalua Pork, BBQ Chicken, Lau Lau and Spam Musubi. Later we drove out to Fort Point at the Golden Gate Bridge.

Florence, capital of the Tuscany region, is often considered the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance. Florence is famous for its magnificent art and architecture.
