The
Beautiful City of Florence
Florence Landscape with the Palazzo Vecchio on the left, the Duomo in the center, and
Santa Croce on the right.
A beautiful city.
The River Arno at sunset
A view of the Arno and the back of the Uffizi... a beautiful day!
The Piazza del Duomo... I took this shot since me and Lisa had just been on the balcony
above the Change place (the Gucci store). I love the old Florence buildings... reminds me
of home, for some reason.

Boboli
Gardens
The only really functional park in the center of Florence is the Boboli Gardens which are
HUGE and offer a great view of the city. It's a great place for picnics, getting lost, and
lounging around amidst the huge manicured trees.

Alishya... needing to go the bathroom maybe?
Lisa lounging up at the top
Walking through the Boboli often results in some strange findings. For instance, Alishya
found some modern art entitled 'Egg' which luckily did not fall but it was interesting to
try. Tammy found the big head which there seems to be a lot less of than I remember. Lisa,
being so very tiny, could actually fit INSIDE a tree trunk... an option she didn't really
prefer, but she posed for the picture quite nicely :)
Katie with Prince Charming? Eeeeewwww
Alishya lounging in utter beauty
Piazzale
Michelangelo
Up above the city lies the Piazzale Michelangelo, so named because there exists one of the
famed replicas of Michelangelo's David. It offers the best views of the city and
me and Lisa went up there for sunset...

Nobody can come to Florence and escape Sr. David.
Alishya checking out the birdpoop stains on the stairs. After having been pooped on once
by a pidgeon (in class, of course), Alishya has been utterly aware of the flying
creatures.
Some nice people from Madison, Wisconsin who happened to be passing by took this picture
for us. Roommates!!
