Our Visit to Florence

Michael and I went on our first vacation (well, second if you count the honeymoon). We spent 5 days in New York, 3 days in Rome and 6 days in Florence, Italy. We saw the Colosseum in Rome, and ate gellato at Cafe Giolitti. We ate ourselves sick of meat, mozzarella, and pizza. We bought leather and cashmere. We loved it!!!

Florence is so beautiful with its bridges and old churches. The Duamo was amazing and we climbed to the top of the Dome. We estimated that it was about 50 stories. It has winding stair cases all the way to the top and such amazing views.

Our hotel was beautiful and so modern. It was a split level with the bedroom on one floor and the bathroom and balcony on the other. We looked over the Arno River. We slept in until 10:30 every morning and then strode the streets for shops, food and tourist stuff.

We loved Florence and had such a wonderful vacation.
