This past week we traveled all over Italy. We left at three a.m. on Monday morning and went to Florence. We walked all over the city all day and then stayed the night in this old hotel that used to belong to the queen of Greece, she lived there when she was in the city. It was a crazy, busy, packed-full week. We saw just about everything there is to see...I am exhausted!
One of the pictures is a bunch of locks on a fence, it is tradition on the Ponte Vecchio Bridge for lovers to come and "lock" their love to the bridge and toss the key into the river, then their love will last forever...
We saw the bridge, the famous dome designed by Brunelleschi and the cathedral Santa Maria del Fiore. We had to walk up over four hundred stairs in tiny spaces to get to that dome, I was so dizzy when we finally made it back down.
We saw the Gates of Paradise, we did not get to see David, which I was not too happy about, but I will be back to Florence later on and I will be seeing the lovely David then.
