Sigh... I loved Florence so much! The culture, the setting, the buildings were just beautiful. It wasn't too big of a city either. I went there with my class as part of our Art and Architecture class, and I never wanted to leave. Well, at least I did rub the bronze boar's nose by the leather market, so apparently I will have to go back some day, as legend has it.
While in beautiful Florence, I bought a leather jacket and a gorgeous pair of leather boots. I also went to the Uffizi gallery and saw so many famous works of art. I also divulged in some fabulous hot chocolate at this bar across from the fake David statue. If any of you are going to Florence, you have to try this hot chocolate. It is, divine.
