Florence

If you have an insatiable appetite for paintings of the Madonna and child, medieval architecture, and the Medici family, then Florence is the place for you! I think we saw almost everything there is to see in Florence, most likely due to my mom’s 16-page itinerary.

Several Highlights:
We had a lovely little apartment around the corner from the Palazzo Vecchio.
I (at almost 7 months pregnant mind you) triumphantly hiked to the top of the Duomo, and then felt like I was going to die.
We found the greatest focaccia sandwiches in the world (below).
We all fell asleep during a Gregorian chant concert at Santa Croce.
