Rise and Shine! On day 3 we woke up and said good bye to Rome! We headed to the train station and got on the EuroStar and headed for Florence! It was such a gorgeous ride to Florence and seeing all the country side!
Once we arrived in Florence we checked into our Sognando Firenze B&B. We enjoyed it, the only complaint we had was that breakfast wasn't free and it was a bit farther away from the main part of town than we would have liked! We definitely had to rely on the bus system to get places.
After getting settled we headed to the main area of Florence!
The is the river in Florence.
Most popular piazza in Florence.
Picture of the bridge we were on earlier!
This is the main bridge in Florence. It is lined on the inside with vendors and stores! Most of them pretty high end! This area was by far the most crowded in Florence!
Next we walked around a bit and found some lunch! We then headed to our appointment to get into the Uffizi Gallery! Unfortunately we weren't allowed to take pictures of anything there, so I have nothing to show! But there were some pretty impressive art works and it was neat to see how art was evolving through the years.

We then walked through the town and made our way over to the Accademia where Michelangelo's David is! Again we couldn't take pictures of the David, but man was it impressive!! We also some some other art works and some more of David's sculptures!
After that we walked to the Basilica. It is a very Medieval Gothic Cathedral! Gorgeous!

We then made our way through Florence looking at other sites along the way!
That night we rested up and got ready for dinner! Afterwards we got some great night shots of Florence!
Florence was a great city, full of Renaissance history! It is very much known for its art history!
