Florence. Old and forever beautiful

October 3, 2014

I seriously don’t know what came after Monaco, but let’s just say it was Florence 😉  From the cruise ship we paid a local to take us in his van to this beautiful city.  I remember being slightly surprised at the fact that we actually had to DRIVE to the old part of Florence, while to surrounding areas looked like any other modern area.  It was early morning, and the sun was rising beautifully.  The driver took us to a lookout where we could see Florence from far …. sigh!  Gorgeous!!  I couldn’t believe we were there, all these years hearing of Florence and we had finally made it.  Enjoy the photos.. if you have not  been here YET, plan for it … it’s so worth it!

My momma in Florence!
My brother looking nice 🙂
When we were dropped off, all I could say was wow, Wow, WOW!  How old are these buildings?!!  I hear they are not very well taken care of, but I guess that kind of adds to the charm of this place.
Loved the sculptures 
Can you find Francis? 😉
Ponte Vecchio.  I could have photographed this place for hours!
Next up? …. The leaning tower of Pisa!
