Day 4: Trip to Florence
Today we trained to Florence. This train ride was much nicer, we had plush seats and we actually sat next to each other. The trip was roughly two hours, with the train only making one stop in Bologna, the so-called food capital of Italy.
Once in Florence, we bused from the main station to our Camping Village, which was situated up in the Florentine hills next to the Piazza Michaelangelo. We slept in small tents with two uncomfortable cots, but the view made up for the lodging inconveniences. Once we were settled, we went into the city to prepare for the huge Italy/USA world cup match. We bar hopped a little and found a bar with mostly Brazilians (?) first. We left after a drink and an Italian red card and went to the Piazza Michaelangelo, where the game was projected onto a massive screen and about 5,000 Italians were present. The place erupted after Italy's goal and you could hear a pin drop after the own goal. The largest roar, however, was after Pablo Mastroeni was ejected after the terrible red card the referee gave, after much Italian persuasion. It was funny seeing the Italians cheer for a call in their favor after their history of referee nagging in past World Cups.
