I loved the Ponte Vecchio shops' 'closing up' - whom ever does woodwork in this city does a great business. Between this kind of stuff and the *HUGE* doors to every building...
Had a great time in this ancient city of Florence. So much we didn't get to, so much we did see and still want to see that we will definitely be back.Luckily the weather was simply perfect - we hope to get this lucky in Roma, perhaps with not as much heat as I think we will find. This shot of the Ponte Vecchio was from the Uffizi gallery - we enjoyed it *somewhat*, a tad bit too much 'Madonna and Child' for my taste but several Michelangelo's worth seeing.
We highly recommend going to the Cappelle Medicee - first, for the several Michelangelo sculptures and second - to see a burial site you will *never* see the likes of anywhere else.
Simply beautiful.
As it was our last night here - and is my tradition to attempt - we went up to Piazzale Michelangelo after sunset to capture a few night-time city shots.
PS - Maddie also highly recommends the 'blood orange gelato' but it is very hard to find...
