ciao ciao! prego ciao!

After Venice, the last stop on our trip was Florence, home of the David. We REALLY enjoyed being there our last 3 days. Florence is smaller than Rome and seemed a little more laid back. The city was so clean and had great food. Jason loved the Florentine Beef. Their steaks were huge and delicious!
Near the Uffizi Gallery we saw a street vendor doing charactatures and we decided to have one drawn of us. So, we got him to do it... we couldnt see obviously, but what was so funny is there was this cultural melting pot of a crowd behind him watching him sketch us. They were nodding and laughing, and we were thinking"this is going to be so cool to have this".... so he says, 1,2,3.... and turns around this picture....and Jason DIED! he looks just like Chris Rock! Don't worry, it's at Hobby Lobby being framed.



We had great weather there, and the architecture was just spectacular. The markets were so fabulous... leather, silk and linens abound! I will leave you with some last shots of Florence, our favorite city.





It was an amazing, amazing trip..... the time of our lives. Jason is the greatest travel partner I could ask for... and I will forever treasure our time in Italy!
Ciao!

i am so jealous of your trip! Kell would never go anywhere cool. I'll have to medicate him and have him carted onto the plane.
