You guys made it to Florence! One of my favorite cities in the world! The food, the shopping, and the ART. It’s the best for Italian Renaissance art! There is a great view across river that overlooks entire city. Florence is at least three days! Go in Fall to avoid crowds!

Looks like you had s fabulous time! You're inspiring me to take a trip to Italy! Seems like prices are reasonable. One thing I kept saying to you through the videos was regarding the bolongese sauce you ordered more than once. Lisa kept saying "I don't really taste the tomato." "There isn't much of a tomato taste". Bolognese sauce is not a tomato sauce. It's meat that's slowly cooked with automatics and wine, lots of wine and some tomato paste.

Two words “Fantastic Video” back in 2005. My sister, and a couple of her friends and I went on a two week Mediterranean cruise and one of our ports of call was Florence and I must say I fell in love with Italy specifically, Venice, and I have not gone back there yet but I love Italy.
