<\/p>\n

It shouldn’t have surprised us that Florence<\/strong> is very packed with people–even in mid-October.<\/p>\n

We arrived Saturday afternoon a bit frazzled from a very bumpy bus ride from Siena. Happily, our budget-y hotel the Mia Cara<\/strong> was a short walk from the bus station.<\/p>\n

A view of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Flore<\/strong> and the Duomo<\/strong> are spectacular sights.<\/p>\n

Especially at night…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We didn’t plan ahead so we weren’t able to get tickets for the Uffizi Gallery<\/strong>. Instead, we visited the Galileo Museum <\/strong>with globes, maps and early scientific instruments. It’s a great museum!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nor did we score tickets for the Accademia Gallery<\/strong> so we settled for a view of this copy of Michelangelo’s David.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We’ve explored both sides of the Arno River<\/strong> and all around town. Florence is a great city and easily walkable.<\/p>\n

Pizza for dinner…a fitting end to a wonderful few weeks in Italy!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Home soon!<\/p>\n

Ciao!<\/p>\n
