Firenze: Italian for Florence

The next big stop on our trip was Florence. We took a train from Rome and saw a good chunk of Italian countryside, delightful! We immediately took off exploring the city, map in hand. Here is a small taste of what we saw (there will be a lot more picture showing when we get home!)

Lu and some other tourists at the Duomo.

Dustin by the Cattedrale di Santa Maria.

Look! A famous door!
(That's about all we can tell you about it)

With our remaining time in Florence we saw David(!), ate at ZaZa's, visited churches, and got rained on. Lu managed to capture a sneaky video of David (gasp!) without the watchdogs getting angry at her. After only a day in Florence we headed off for the next phase of our Journey. We caught a bus to the charming little town Tavarnelle.

Lu on a charming street listening to the bells of a little country town chapel right in the middle of Tuscany. If you ever have the chance, go to Barberino di val dʼelsa!

We walked and biked through orchards, vineyards, and the most beautiful scenery we have ever seen. It really was a magical adventure. We were sad to turn in our bikes, check out of our hip hostel, and sit down to wait for the bus back to the big city.
