Florence




Ahhh...Florence! Forget about having a holiday in Rome and doing what the Romans do, etc. Florence is it! We saw Michelangelo's David, Botticelli's Primavera and also The Birth of Venus.
The food was authentic and as good as advertised. Life flowed as slowly as the Arno through the heart of the city. And finally, our bed and breakfast room, while ironically lacking breakfast was large and adequate for all four of us.
The top picture here is of the wait staff at the restaurant we went to. We enjoyed the food more than any other that we ate in Italy, but they enjoyed Stazy even more.
If you ever do happen to go to Florence, go to Ritorante La Grotta Guelfa and get the Florentine steak. You won't be sorry!
