Florence (In Photos)

Here's the 2nd installment of "Italy 2008."

This is the cityscape of Florence - the main building is the Duomo in the center of the city.

This is right after we arrived in Florence... as you can see, I don't exactly pack light.  Ooops.

My mom my fascinated with the fact that she was taller than this car.

There were copies of Michelangelo's David everywhere! I loved this one because from here you could look out over the entire city.

How can you not love that face?  I mean really.

Santa Croce - this is where all the famous Italians are buried.   Michelangelo, Dante, Galileo, and one of my personal faves, Machiavelli. 

The Ponte Vecchio - the oldest bridge in Florence.

Cool street art - this is Botticelli's The Birth of Venus in chalk on the sidewalk.

And up close of the Duomo.

Ghiberti's Baptistry Doors - these are revolutionary in the way that they handle perspective.

Breakfast at our B&B - seriously one of my favorite places we stayed.  Except for the time we got lost trying to get home... that wasn't so fun.

Take 1

Good Picture!

Take 3... in their true state... laughing hysterically and getting mad at me for not letting them "get ready" for the picture.
