Let's go to Florence

We took a train to Florence and walked from the train station to our hotel. We stayed right outside of the Duomo and some of my favorite memories here will be sitting by the window playing cards with some good wine hearing the hustle and bustle below us and eating our breakfast (fresh banana muffins)at that same table with the sun shining in.

We didn't love Florence as much as Venice but we did get one of our favorite meals here. We went to the Academia to see the David first- I took a picture although they told us not to...I got in trouble with Gabe but they didn't catch me. Then we just explored. Our favorite place was the Uffizi courtyard- we spent a few hours here reading. We also sat along the Ponte Vecchio (famous bridge lined with stores) eating ice cream and listening to live music.
