had the pleasure of spending a few days in Florence in early November. Great time to go, as tourists were few and I really enjoyed seeing some of the smaller museums I had never had the chance to see, as one is usually rushing to the accademia, the uffizi, bargello etc. The eating was another added pleasure, enjoying all new restaurants with Elizabeth the author of the great app "Eat Florence". Lots of fun.

Great photos! Yes, much better shoe shopping than in Todi. Especially since they were actually willing to SELL us the shoes!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to hardly be a tourist and go to Florence. As a true tourist one just does not have time to be relaxed as you seem to have been with Elizabeth., And what a bonus to dine with an expert on eating out in Florence. That must have been more tasteful than Prada and Ferragamo combined.
ReplyDeleteWe are so glad you called. And remember please, if you are too busy to call, don't worry about it. We love to hear from you and to see you, but priorities and energy sometimes may preclude both.
Love to Scot and you, Fred
The pumpkin soup looks yummy! The LV display is creative and unique lol :) Looks like a fun trip :D
