Florence - Our 1st Day on the Road

The view out our window

The view inside our room

Along the Arno River

The Ponte Vecchio - The most famous bridge in Florence

Doorways along the streets

Tasteful grafitti

The stone work was surpassed only...

by the quaintness of the narrow streets...

and the tall buildings

Artwork was everywhere

Even normal life was art.

Some people expressed their own art

Every street had its shops

but the best shops sold gelato

Fortresses, castles and museums were everywhere

There was no shortage of Churches and bell towers

The Arno River at dusk

Shops on Ponte Vecchio

Sidewalk cafes were especially busy at night

Piazza S.S. Annunziata
