Off to Florence

Our first day trip after getting settled in Siena was to Florence.  I think that it might be my favorite city thus far! (not including the coast)  It is so beautiful!  We went to the famous Duomo and climbed to the top of the bell tower where there was the most incredible view!  

Another advantage of Florence.... TONS of cheap markets!  (Thats why it's my mom's favorite)  We are going back two more times as a group and I can't wait to get a lot of cheap stuff! 





Half way up the Bell tower

At the top, over looking the whole city 

So Happy to be there 
We took a break going down the forever long staircase and took pictures in these tiny window holes

awesome souvenirs
