Firenze

I loved loved loved Florence.  Quaint, clean, beautiful.  We spent three nights in Firenze and would come back to spend more time in the Tuscany region.  Our apartment was located about a 5 minute walk from Piazza Pitti, a vast palace which is now a museum as well as the Ponte Vecchio - "Old Bridge", a medieval stone arch bridge noted for its shops along it.

One day we walked to the Forte Belvedere, the largest fortress built in Florence.  It offers beautiful panoramic views of Florence and is filled with these neat statues throughout the area.  I had fun taking pictures of Emily and Liam posing with them.

Liam bartering for a selfie stick stand - he got the guy down to 4 euros from 10.

Il Duomo

Some really large door knobs

A Lutheran church - pretty subpar in comparison to all the Catholic ones

Our last night - having some pizza, Prosecco and Emily's first coco cola
