FLORENCE



I just got back from Florence, Italy. I have never been to Italy and I have to say, it was everything I had imagined, but a bit more touristy than I thought. I actually went to Rome AND Florence, but it was Florence that really took my breath away. A few places that are a must...The Uffizi Gallery with art work by Michelangelo,Leonardo Da Vinci and Botticelli to name a few, Palazzo Vecchio, Signoria Square, the Old Bridge, and just walking around the shopping areas to find amazing gelato and leather shops. I actually ate my way through this city. I was told a list of places to go and went to about two of them. There were so many tempting places on every corner, it was just as easy to eat an one place on Signoria Square than all the way over on the other side of town! I will be blogging about a few dishes I had there soon...check some of these photos out!
