Florence

Aaah Florence - we loved Florence.  It is a beautiful city and you can walk pretty much everywhere you want to go.  We stayed in a B&B run by a darling Italian grandma.  From her home we would walk past the Accademia to the heart of Florence.  We visited the Medici Chapel, the Duomo, the Uffizi Gallery, Bargello Museum and of course did not miss Michelangelo's David at the Accademia.  A lot of places we visited did not allow photography so there are not as many pictures to share.  Once again, our "good friend" Rick Steves took us on an audio walking tour that included the great history and art of Florence . Oh, and let's not forget the gelato - we enjoyed quite a bit of that as well :)

Ghiberti's Bronze doors - impressive 3D illusions

The last picture we took
before our camera was broken :(

Sunset on Piazale Michelangelo -
phone camera does not do it justice
