I’ve added some information to the wiki site on the Florence Information page. There is a link to the PicCell Wireless web page for student rentals. (note that if you wait to buy a phone that you can use your US cell phone in “roaming” mode for quick, expensive calls in Europe.
There is also a link to the Italian train company, Trenitalia, and to a site that collects low cost airline route information.
Your assignment is to go to the Participants page for the class you’re in and leave a comment with a short biographical introduction for the rest of the class to read. And if you would like to go by a different name than the one I put on the site, let me know and I’ll change it.
And please feel free to leave comments on this blog, if you want. Comments are moderated, but I will post them as soon as I read through them. I do it this way because I don’t want spammers leaving comments here.
