Florence


Arrived in Italy on Thursday - finally!  Spent the last few days in Florence (Firenza).  Watched the sun rise over the city lighting up the Ponte Vecchio Bridge and the Duomo - gorgeous!  Walked from one end of the city to the other, again and again, but so much to see and enjoy along the way. Visited the Boboli Gardens and toured several churches.  The finale was a climb up 414 steps to top of the Campanile di Griotto/bell tower to enjoy unique views of the city and closeup view of the Duomo.  Next, heading on a drive thru the Tuscany region...
