FLORENCE
after just an hour&twenty minute train ride from rome we arrived in the small, beautiful city of florence.
we were blessed to be able to stay with the Evertsen family in their cute yellow& green shutter florentine style home & have them as our personal tour guides.
we had a short stay there but were still able to see a lot thanks to them.
florence really was a city of art because the buildings were so detailed and there were so many statues and beautiful things everywhere.
we first had lunch on the grass from puigis & then stopped for gelato.
saw the famous duomo, clock tower, & the uffizi (most expensive bridge in the world because its full of jewelers).
heather cooked us homemade lasagna & it was so nice to have a home cooked meal. then of course we had more gelato.
we made our way to michelangelo's plaza that night for a beautiful view of the city lights.
saw art being drawn on the streets & musicians playing for coins on our way home.
we had a good nights sleep & then made one last stop in the morning to firensole in the mountain side for a view of florence in the daytime
ate a pesto pasta lunch & then were off to venice by train.
