We were lucky enough to visit twice this time...once during the day and then again for a sunset dinner.
The views from Piazzale Michelangelo out over the Arno and the Duomo are simply stunning (even the children were heard to "ooh") ...and its free parking!!We came home laden with goodies...gold leaf embossed journals for the girls, vintage postcards and some gloves for me. And golden memories.
** It was hard to resist the "David" boxers but, somehow, we managed.
so beautiful, especially the last two photos & the journal looks gorgeous

ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos! Florence is one of my favourite cities even though I have never actually been there if that is possible!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely...I was in love with Florence and Venice before I ever thought about travel!!!
DeleteJust gorgeous. My dad has an atlas from when he was at school that is hand covered in gorgeous marble paper. Always wanted to try doing it myself.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favourites too! And you've given me a great time watching those shots!
ReplyDeleteDelightful to see its summer face. We stayed there one November with two four year olds who loved it. The light was golden then too, and the streets strung with tiny lights for Advent. Jean
