Ahhhh, Florence. Our favorite city. Its wide, clean avenues, Renaissance art and fabulous shopping kept both of us happy as we strolled between our villa bed and breakfast and the sights. Our first evening was a bit of a flop due to the language barrier with our hostess...she sent us to a steakhouse for dinner where we quickly gobbled down some pasta dishes before making a run for the door and to a local pub we discovered earlier in the day.
Our big day in Florence began with the Accademia and Michealego's David. INCREDIBLE. I never thought I would be so enamored with a marble statue, but you just can't beat the majesty of David in the morning light. We walked along the Arno River in search of lunch and then back to the Ufizi area for people watching after our tasty meal. Once inside the Ufizi Museum, we spent over two hours looking at Italian masterpieces. A quick gelatto to regain our strength and we were off to see San Croce. Somewhere in there we also popped by Dante's house for a peek.
We stopped by our room to rest and massage our tired feet before heading back into the the heart of Florence for dinner and sights. We woke up early the next morning to score some sweet deals (Italian leather jackets) before heading to the bus station and Siena.
