Firenze

We left the Cinqueterre by train on Saturday afternoon.
We are excited to see the sights of Florence and Venice 

The city of Florence welcomes us with all the treasures it holds.
We are anxious to get going and start our visit here.
 Looking forward to all the incredible art, churches, food, wine and SHOPPING!  

We have a very busy and full day on Sunday with Lucia our guide leading the way.
We spent time at many of the notable museums, piazzas, palaces and churches.
We make time for important breaks that include coffee, gelato and pizza.
Michael discovers a new drink called "caffe freddo shakelatto".

We marvel at the distinctive green marble that makes the Duomo so spectacular.

And finally at the very end of our day we stop for an essential visit to the David.
It was an unforgettable tour with Lucia who helped us to remember
 how art is always a reflection of the history of the times and of the human spirit.
