Anne and I spent 16 hours and two flights getting to Florence (via Dublin and Rome). We didn’t get too much sleep and were tired when we arrived. First we took the train from Fiumicino Airport to Roma and a taxi to the monastery hotel that we will stay at when we return to Roma on 9 Ottobre. There we extracted our backpacks and trekking poles, and left our suitcases. We walked around Trastevere section of Roma and then took a bus to Termini to catch a train to Firenze. When we arrived in Firenze we walked to our monastery hotel but took the long way there. When we finally found the right way we were fortuitously near the Basilica della SS. Annunziata, which has a Porta della Miserecordia (Door of Mercy, open during this Jubilee Year of Mercy designated by Pope Francis). We walked through the Door, said a prayer,  and walked to our hotel. See photo.  We had a very nice dinner and went back to the hotel to get some needed sleep.
