Tom says that so far Florence is his favourite (out of Rome, Florence and Milan). And I reallyed like it as well. There is just something about it that has more of an inviting feel, plus everything is within reasonable walking distance. There isn't a metro, and there isn't a need to figure out the bus system. Benefits for two reasons: 1. Saves money! Who doesn't love that? 2. So much less stress not having to figure out what route to take, if it is taking you to the right place, etc. While in Florence, we saw a lot of gorgeous buildings, paintings, and sculptures. When I asked Tom what we did in Florence because I was trying to remember, he put it so eloquently: "We saw a buncha famous shit". These pictures are mainly from the Duomo, we climbed to the top of the dome, and walked around the inside and outside. It was really cool to see the church from up top, a\s well as the spectacular (yet hazy) view.

This is one of the oldest bridges in the city. It was really fun to walk across because it has shops lining the street. (Mostly jewelry that was, to put it lightly, gaudy and tacky, although a few shops actually had pretty things):
This (and the rest of the pictures) are from the walk up to Piazza Michelangelo. A park with a beautiful view of the city:
