Cabs are here...

Okay, here is the super cool story I was talking about ...

From Capri we took a ferry and then a train to get to Florence. It seems like no matter how small the travel day is, it always takes it out of us. As soon as we get into Florence we head straight to the hotel and crash for an hour. Seeing how we were still pretty tired from the early start of the day, we wanted to take it pretty easy on Saturday and not do a lot of sightseeing. Our hotel is in a really good location - pretty central to all of the sights and within walking distance of everything.

We didn't really have a game plan in mind - just thought we would walk around and then go for some eats. After spending about an hour walking around, Arnold suggested sitting down in this cafe in one of the plaza's for a drink. Seeing how I was craving some prosecco, it was an easy choice. After we were seated and our drinks arrived we started talking about Jersey Shore and how they were in Florence filming the new season - so of course we started say how random it would be to see them and all that. Well maybe 15 minutes goes by and all of the sudden Arnold is like "hey look, it's Jwoww!!!" ..... Booyah!! All of the Jersey Girls were walking down the street and filming an episode of the shores - woot woot. They walked right past our table and actually ended up eating at the restaurant we were at. It was hilarious. I ended up sharing the bathroom with Jwoww and her female bodyguard haha. I was waiting to use the washroom when she came out. To film an episode, it was quite the production - they had an entourage of about 30 people (film crew, sound crew, bodyguards, security, and just random MTV employees). Plus, I think there was about 30-40 fans hanging out around the restaurant to see what was going on AND the paps were also following them as well. They must have spent close to two hours at the restaurant doing their thing. We ended up leaving to look for a place to eat and that's when we saw them again - they were walking in the same direction as us, so we let
them pass and then followed for a bit. They were still filming an episode so it was a pretty funny scene. They had about 40 fans running after them them, followed by the paps, plus all the MTV crew. We would have loved to see the guys as well - especially Pauly D, but maybe tomorrow ;) ahah.

Sooo random and so totally awesome. Depending on what they cut out of the filming you guys might be able to see us in the background haha. A bit about the girls - they are SMALL!!! all of them ... Jwoww is the tallest (maybe 1-2 inches taller then me?), followed by Sammi and then the two meatballs. JWoww is super skinny now - I think that they are on all diets actually. We read an article about them and Snooki said she doesn't eat carbs now and watching what she ate??? But yah, they look much bigger then they actually are on TV. I'm not going to lie - I was pretty pumped about seeing them hahahahah ... especially because the show is hilarious - Snooki is soo cute and short (and way smaller then you think). It made for an entertaining day and gave us something to laugh about later that night.

Oh yeah, Florence Yeah!! It's teee-shirt time ... Jersey Shore is my guilty pleasure - haha I can't help but love it.

So there you have it - our run in with the Shore Girls

Love Melissa and Arnold
