Florence, Italy

Took a plane from Paris to Italy – not a long flight at all.  Then, the train from the airport to Florence – my first official train ride in Europe. I must say, it was very easy to navigate through town and Florence had a nice easy going vibe that put me at ease pretty quickly. Day one in Italy and I am enjoying the change of scenery and pace.

Duomo di Firenze:

 

Love the surrounding buildings:

 

Sculptures everywhere… beautiful!

 

Dining in the streets of Florence.

 

Palazzo Vecchio on September 11th – I got teary eyed seeing the American flag…
