Walk around Florence (Firenze) from the piazza outside our front door. Ponte Vecchio, over the Arno River, contains all the luxury leather, jewelry and fashion shops found on Rodeo Drive (great window shopping). Museums abound with the likes of Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo and other specialties from the 2,000 years of Florentine history. Every way you look is a postcard. It's hard to believe it turned out to be so beautiful without some master plan. Food continued the same high quality, convenience and variety we got used to in Rome.
