a few pictures from Florence

Guess what? You have a photo gallery. 😀

I will have to see what I can do to upload more pictures! :clap_1:

Thanks Allifunn. I'm going to show these to my daughter--Florence is one of her favorite places on earth. :wub:

Il Duomo. :clap_1: That is one cool place.

Words can not properly describe it!:wub:

I have a hotel recommendation for Firenze. Room 888 at the Hotel Continental - the penthouse with fabulous views of the Ponte Vecchio and Arno River on one side and the Duomo and Palazzo Vecchio on the other. There is a terrace on one side of the room overlooking it all, and balconies on the river side. The Hotel Continental has a fabulous location - right at the intersection of the Ponte Vecchio and the street that borders the river. BTW it's well priced.

Also, you have to try Trattoria Giorgio at 100 Via Palazzuolo.The menu is family-style Italian. The primo course was pasta - spaghetti Bolognese, tortellini, macaroni with funghi, macaroni piccante/spicy, fettuccine pomodori. The secondo was veal with funghi, sausage, chicken cacciatore, accompanied by a choice of spinach or a wonderful green salad containing white and green beans. It was excellent, and all of that food for 16,000 lira per person - about 9 dollars!

Beach Runner, that menu sounds divine but you'd be shocked how much prices skyrocked in Italy since the lira was converted to euro. 16,000 lira for a meal like that is a thing of the past. :(

Your photos are stunninly beautiful!! I think I liked the Mykonos ones the best!!! You have a good eye-just like Kurt!

Some day I must go there :cool:

Stunning. :wub: I went to Italy when I was a teenager but haven't been back since. I would LOVE to go back with hubby for a week and no kids. Thanks for the pics. :clap_1: :clap_1: :clap_1:

TFT, you could bring the kids to Italy with you. The Italians adore children and you'd have the best time. It's one place on earth that it wouldn't be a hassle to bring the whole family. There's something truly wonderful about seeing the world through the eyes of your children (really!). A whole different perspective.

Really? Hmm, maybe when the littlest one gets to be reasonable on plane rides, which is still 4-5 years away. But that's interesting! Once the kids are tweens and teens we really want to take them to some cool places. Hard to imagine that now though.

Alli I am loving your album.

thanks...I just finished showing Kaiboo all 480 of the photos, and showed her all my rocks! I am hoping to take her to Greece next summer:wub:

Loved your pics, Allifunn.
Santorini is one of the most beautiful places on our planet.
