What is that smell?

You know how in the States the fast-food chain 'Subway' quite literally pumps sandwich aromas through vents out onto the street? Well, call me crazy but I think the leather shops in Florence might do it too! It is intoxicating. I am so glad that I was alone in Florence, because no one, not even a girlfriend would I think have so happily browsed through dozens of shoe shops with me. Just you mom.

But wait, there is much more to Florence than the leather! There is the David! And there is a lot of him. The musuem in Florence that took the biggest toll on my feet was the Ufitzi. It just kept going! I spent at least four hours there but the Leonardo Da Vinci paintings are well worth it. I found the unfinished ones the most fascinating.

This is the 'Ponte Vecchio' ('old bridge') of Florence just southwest of the Ufitzi.




What a wild little store


Me at the top of the Duomo in Florence!





My first meal in Florence. It looks a little bit like mealworms in pesto but I swear it was a delicious pasta!
