Day 10: Florence
... Michelangelo, which is on the top of a hill and overlooks the entirety of Florence across the river. My God, was it beautiful. Not only could we see the whole city, but also tumbling Tuscan hills with Cyprus trees and an old city wall unrolling into the distance. Not a bad couple of hours to spend in the afternoon. The hike up to Piazzale Michelangelo was strenuous, so we took our time coming back down the hill and across the river on our way to Santa Croce, a cathedral that houses ...

Florence, the Birthplace of the Renaissance
We took a local express bus to Florence (7.50 Euro). Florence, the birthplace of the Renaissance!
Our tour guide had a busy half-day planned for us. Once we checked in at our hotel, we headed for the local marketplace. Cheese, wines, meats, and even plucked roosters filled the foodstalls. Alas, I had a cold, and couldn't smell the food! But the hams and meats looked delicious.
