When Michael and I visited Italy last summer (not knowing we would be moving to Europe a few months later!), Florence was absolutely at the top of Michael's favorite cities. And for good reason. It's awesome. We just spent the past three days in the lovely capital city of the Tuscan region with Casey, and have a better appreciation of art, leather goods, food and wine to show for it. On our first night, we took a guided tour of the Uffizi Gallery with a wine tasting intro with Florence for Foodies, a tour company that I would HIGHLY recommend. Last year, we took their Nude and Food tour, which was perhaps the best tour either of us had ever been on. And this one did not disappoint either. Over the next two days, which were increasingly hot and humid, we paid a visit to Michelangelo's David at the Academia, hiked to the top of the Duomo, ate our weight in gelato and pasta, and were introduced to the Spritz, a fantastic summer summer cocktail which we plan to enjoy at least once a day for the rest of our vacay. We could have used a few more days in Florence to explore the side streets and maybe take a day trip out to a small town or two, but for now we move on to Cinque Terre, which I've been dreaming of for many years.
And although somebody was a bit reluctant to leave Florence, Casey and I can't fit any more leather purses in our luggage, so it was time to go. With the promise that we will definitely return.
