Welcome to Florence, Italy!

Have some stairs.

Yes, it is true, Italy is full of stairs. Tall stairs, endless stairs, curving stairs, and marble stairs.

Fortunately, the views are worth all the stairs!

Our first stop in Florence was the Pallazo Medici Riccardi.

Euripedes.

Caracalla. You can really get a feel for how brutal he was.

This one was labeled Sovrano Ellenistico.

I really loved the expression on this guy. He is the Atleta Riccardi.

Meeting rooms with massive frescoes.

The world's coolest ostrich painting.

Florence, Italy.

The most handsome man in Florence.
The four of us (me, The Charming Man, The Flaming Chef, Dr. Snickerdoodle) arrived in Florence, Italy, after 27 hours of traveling.

No, it didn't need to be that long.

Yes, we were exhausted.

But! We were in Florence, bitches!!


Home of the Renaissance! Home of fashion, home of the de Medici, home of truly excellent gelato.

Here are some random pictures:
The view from our hotel room.
Truly excellent modern art to go with the history.

Florence is also the home of Pinocchio!
