Here's a few of my favorite photos of our stop in Florence. We spent 4 days walking around the historic city center taking in all the great architecture and shops. Not to mention tasting a lot of great food along the way. My traveling partner Karen arranged a half day tour to several artist workshops exposing us to some master artisians. We had both been to Florence before (me almost 50 years ago) so we chose not to stand in line for the big galleries and sites and dug a little deep.
