Italy: Part II - Florence

Florence was our second stop on our trip. We were only there for one day, so we had to make it count.


This was a market we found when we were lost



This is by far some of the cooler graffiti I've seen.



This is the Duomo of Florence



This is the view from the tower.



This is the ceiling of the baptistry which is right across from the Duomo. The painting were really amazing and each ring shows a different bible story or book.



This is the famous Ponte Vecchio. It's a cool bridge filled with jewelry stores and other shops.



This couple was taking wedding photos on the Ponte Vecchio.



This here is a picture I took inside of Pitti Palace (before I knew you weren't supposed to tak photos inside of Pitti Palace).



This statue is sweet. I don't understand why they had so many Roman statues with centaurs.



This here is inside of the Santa Maria della Carmine - they had beautiful fresco paintings.



The one thing I regret is not sneaking a photo of Michelangelo's David. It was by far one of the most impressive things that I've ever seen. Florence was gorgeous. Our next stop was Sienna!
