Market Monday in Firenze (Florence)


Sunday, we said goodbye to our friends and home in Cetona and took a train from Chuisi (just outside of Cetona) to Firenze. After an evening of exploring and getting a feel for the city, we retired to our bed and breakfast, which is right in the middle of the action. Monday, we headed towards the Central Market and did some souvenir shopping on the way there. This photo features Spring and Janna in a Florence crowd, buying paintings of Florence from a local artist. The market was the ideal grocery store, with fresh&local meats, cheeses, and produce. After enjoying lunch there, we went down to Piazzale Michelangelo to enjoy the view. We had a siesta at our B&B before walking down to the Duomo di Firenze, where Janna and Liz explored the outside and Spring ascended 463 stairs to see the view at the top, which was magnificent. Afterwards, the three of us continued on to enjoy dinner at a restaurant in the Piazza della Signoria, where we also enjoyed a dessert of Tiramisu and a cioccolato, before retiring once again to our bed and breakfast.
