Happy Saint John the Baptist Day everyone!
It’s that time of year again. Time to dust off the ole’ Calcio Storico digs, head to the baptistery, and get ready for some fireworks. That’s right, it’s everyone’s favorite Florentine holiday: St. John the Baptist Day! St. J is the patron saint of Florence so today is a pretty big holiday here in Flo-town. Chris and I both have the day off work and have planned quite an exciting time. Well, not really all that exciting, but it should be nice. First we’re heading back to the apartment in town to drop off some stuff, then we’re off for a picnic lunch just outisde the city. Tonight it’s fireworks and friends, next to the Arno.
So that’s that plan. Hope you all have a wonderful St. John the Baptist Day!
