Allergy season - even in Italy...

I travel half way around the world and I still can't escape allergy season. The weather is beautiful in Rome and now Florence, but sadly my allergies are in full force as well! Then again, how can I complain? I'm in Florence staying in the presidential suite at nicest hotel in the city. Interestingly enough, because the hotel is so old, they can't even offer heat and air conditioning at the same time, and so we're without air conditioning here. Doesn't that just seem wrong?

Ah well, it's time to enjoy another Florentine steak - magnifico!
