GO THERE! Great art in Florence: FREE
Tuesday, September 22, 2020
Our two favorite things: Florence and FREE! Great tips on free art you can see in Florence. Now’s a great time to go. Heck with the kids. How many soccer games can a parent see? Leave ’em with Grandma and head East to the Old Country while the tourists are few and the gustatory pleasures are many!

Foggy London Strut Lyrics:
Humming through skyway
In coach 57a
That foggy town of London
Is only an hour away
Getting so excited
I’m ready to get down
Gonna press go on the kook-ay
In that foggy London town
(Pilot’s voice)
“Ladies and Gentleman, this is your captain speaking
We are beginning our descent into the city of London
Please take your seats and fasten your seatbelts
We hope you enjoyed your flight today, and if you feel the need to strut
Please wait until you exit the aircraft so as not to harm the people around you…”
Come and do the Foggy London Strut
The Foggy London Strut
The Foggy London Strut…Yeah!
Now I’m struttin in the UK
Got the kooky down in my feet
Greetin’ all the guv’nuhs, chaps and birds
As I’m Struttin’ down Victoria Street
Should we strut to the palace or a museum
Perhaps a pub would be the best
Get a little bitty taste of a kidney pie
And maybe give that little dog the rest

From la Serenissima to Las Ramblas, we’ll dodge the doges and catch the Catalonians in our never ending effort to learn about the world through the eyes of young Americans.
