Florence is beautiful! It's so much cleaner than Rome and Venice. And ladies, this is a shopping city!! Mike even shopped a little with me (wow!!!) There is tons to do here, and lots of trendy little bars and restaurants. Wish we could stay longer! Friday we arrived and checked into our awesome hotel/hostel. It is a budget hotel, but one of our best hotel stays on this trip so far. If you ever need a cheap place to stay in Florence, this is the place!! (it's called Casa Nuestra) Then, we went to the Acadamia Gallery on Friday evening (which houses Michaelangelo's famous David sculpture) and had a nice dinner and a place the girl at the hotel recommended, and of course some gelato after that. I think we have eaten gelato at least every other day while in Italy. :-) Can't get tired of it! Saturday, we visited the Uffizi art gallery, and walked around the city some more.
Tomorrow we plan to do a day trip up to the Cinque Terre and then back to Florence. Wish we had more time in this beautiful city, we love it here!!!!!!
