Florence was amazing! So beautiful and so delicious! Haha I had a great time finding my way around, luckily Florence is very walkable. So I never got too lost. Turns out I do know how to successfully read a map!
These are pictures from the days I spent there, I literally think I was able to see almost all that there is! Haha not always by choice...haha but hey I saw things somehow!
This is the view I arrive to after I made it to Florence from Spain! I died.
What I had for dinner the first night! <3
Then I went wondering checking out the nearby streets! So cute!
Breakfast the next day. I loved me some tomato mozzarella!
This day first I went to see the statue of David which was an amazing museum I really enjoyed it. And then I went to the main food market in Florence.
Look at the fresh pasta!!!
Look at this Italian store I walked by!
There were so many small plazas its impossible to keep track!
Bikes seem to be a popular form of transportation....
Inside Santa Maria Novela
Inside the basilica of SMN
I always light a candle for my family.
Then I thought it would be a good idea to check out the main cathedral from the first pictures.
And it was! So beautiful!
But then I decided to go up to the top of the bell tower....I thought I had made it up all the way at this point...WRONG.
I mean it's a good view already!
So I went up the next level...still not done
More eye level with the dome now
You'd think this is a top view! Wrong.
Still going up!!!
Finally after about 400 steps...I MADE IT
Yay! Now after David, SMN, and the tower, it was time for some food!
After a small break I still had a ticket good to see the top of the dome now rather than the tower. So of course I had to use it. Regardless of what my legs said.
I walked to the top of both! I think the dome was even higher.
Then I walked around some more that night looking for dinner. Ended up wandering all the way to the famous bridge that was COVERED with gold jewelry stores.
Shoes that I might need in my life.
Anchors! And carpe diem....seemed appropriate :)
And everyone seems to love PITT!
It's like I was meant to go to Italy!
Finally for dinner after a long search I ended up and a very traditional Italian kitchen and oh my gosh was it amazing.
I started with mushroom risotto
And then second plate was a beef tomato stew.
Day one as packed full! I need a second post for day two! Soon to come!
