firenze/florence!

My personal move back to the US obviously wasn't going to keep me from visiting Jason in Copenhagen. So, over the Easter break, that is what I did! We chose Florence, Italy as our vacation destination via Copenhagen. What a fantastic place. Despite battling one full day of nonstop rain and an unfortunate 24 hour NASTY stomach bug (mine), we managed to get a lot of sightseeing in. It was very crowded, but we braved a couple of lines to visit some historic landmarks including the most popular one- the Duomo, whose dome is over 600 years old! You can climb to the top of it. That line was way too long and we simply didn't do it, but the Duomo's amazing bell tower is almost as high and we climbed a whopping 414 steps to get the top! We also explored the Pitti Palace, an old palace that is Florence's largest museum now. It's amazing Boboli Gardens may have been my personal favorite sight during our entire visit. An amazing, beautiful landscape!
