After our lovely time in Venezia, we were whisked away to another fabulous city of Italia: Florence! Florence is home to many influential artists including Leonardo da Vinci, Brunelleschi, and Michaelangelo, and the dome in Florence is actually what inspired St. Peter's Basilica in Roma. While we were there, I was able to not only photograph the dome, but sketch it as well, which made me quite happy!
Florence also houses Michaelangelo's famous statue of David. Seeing that statue, and other works by Michaelangelo was definitely one of the highlights of my visit to Firenze. The pictures and postcards that you've seen do not do it justice. It was incredible.
Our time in Florence was perfectly lovely, and quite a nice way to wind down the whirlwind that was our trip. We ate gelato. We shopped. We ate gelato. We sketched. We ate gelato. We photographed. We ate gelato. We talked, and laughed, and wished the trip wasn't almost over. Then we ate more gelato.
Highlights from our time in Firenze:
Gelato and waffles? I think yes!
Gelato. Again.

| This was a happy moment. The whole trip, I had been paying 1-2 Euros for bottled water. But here, at this amazing grocery store in Florence, I found it for 14 cents. I bought 4. Well that's it peeps! My reminiscing about Italia is all finished up. Hope you enjoyed the images, and understand, at least a little bit why it was such a special trip. If you've never been to Italy: GO! If you have been to Italy: GO AGAIN! Have a great weekend, all! Ciao for now, Jazzy |
