Florence: My Favorite

On our class's 10 day adventure, we saw and visited many places in Italy. We began in Rome, but visited Pompeii and Florence, and saw all there was to see in between. Although we only spent a day in Florence, it was immediately my favorite. I felt right at home the second we stepped foot off of our four hour long bus ride from Rome. It wasn't as busy as Rome was and seemed to be less touristy. I also really enjoyed the purse and scarf vendors that greeted me enthusiastically as I stepped off of the bus. Luckily for me, and my professors, their math skills weren't as proficient as their selling skills, and I walked away with some great deals :) The picture I've posted is a picture I took of the River at twilight. I thought the sky was beautiful and the lights and reflections on the water were gorgeous. I will definitely go back to visit Florence. I feel so lucky that we were able to take a day trip there.
