In Italy Part 3 – by Valerie Halla
Florence was next on our tour with a comfy bus ride there. Outside was some beautiful scenery on our 4 hour tour as the director told us lots of facts and history as we went. Florence has a gorgeous Cathedral pictured here with an exterior of greens and pinks and marble that blows your eyes wide and challenges them to look at the old walls and imagine the interior before you even see it to take you like the old rock ‘n roll song says, “Take me higher, higher and higher”. Florence has beauty. Florence has food and buildings and art and bridges and mystique.
Florence is where ancient and modern meet and shake hands.
Florence has David. How did Michelangelo create statues like this without modern technology?
The Arno River is central part of Florence.
Sounds of the city.
Part of the Roman Aquaduct.
Motorbikes everywhere!
Iced cappuccinos and truffle filled buns in Florence.
Museum of Modern Art in a gorgeous old palace. And me trying to pose. Arches in architect are prevalent.
After a rough day seeing gorgeous sights and beautiful art work, the 26 people on the tour split off to eat dinner and drink Chianti.
Special steaks from special Florence cows on a special night out for dinner.
Wine, always the vino.
Next stop: Rome. All roads lead to Rome.
