You say Florence I say Firenze!

Ciao. After quite a long trip by plane, train and automobile we made it last night about 6:45pm local time.
I have a story about Ashley not believing I got her to Florence.
So, I had studied up on how to get here and upon our arrival in Rome and the hours spent in Italian customs (the customs is literally a sign posted with no agent anywhere, just walk on by) we headed to the train from airport to the crazy Rome Termini station, at which Ashley stated "your driving" which means get us there or else because I am tired. I had luckily read somewhere that the trains only state the end point city and not necessarily the stops between and luckily I had read that the "Milan" line is the one to Florence. However, in Italy Florence is called "Firenze". I said here is where we get off the train (I could see the doubt) we go out into the station and she says "are you sure we are in Florence?" She did not believe until finally one sign said "Florence Taxis". Thank God for that as I was about to get a beat down!
FYI Hotel David is very cute and the folks here run a nice little place.
