Florence travels

One day in Florence for only seven hours. It rained some and we had our suitcases with us, but we did see the ponte vecchio - covered bridge, the duomo in the middle of the city and the uffizi art gallery. pictures are below


Approaching the Ponte Vecchio



On the PV, terrible picture, but hey, whatcha going to do?


On the PV again with Sam :)




Cute little balcony huh?


The covered walk way with high arches that runs down the side of the river


Uffizi art gallery court yard with lots of awesome statues of famous guys from way back when

and from the other end of the gallery, it's all full of amazing works of art in all levels on all three sides




The Duomo


The tradition continues....








And while waiting in line for the Uffizi, Rowan stopped by. She was visiting Alexis in Florence over her spring break from Midd. I saw her at Midd two weeks later when I was home in the States visiting. Small world huh?



Next Up, Rome....Day 1
