"Rosis, do you think we could get eight or ten or maybe sixteen of our friends to actually do the Borgo San Lorenzo? I was in Florence this summer, and absolutely loved it. Whole nother way of life, much more laid back than here. Have you been there, and is that what inspired the wishlist? If we can't do Burning Man, I think Florence would be a really excellent alternative. I stayed in a flat near a hostel right across from the David. . . a bit touristy, but so what! I'd need an interpreterr . . . how's your Italian? (you know, with 9 bedrooms, if we got 16 other people the thing would be downright affordable!) justathought"
