Florence(firenze) Italy

After all the work that I did writing on our visit to Florence and then I lost it.
Could not find.Got wiped out.
Florence(Firenze) Capitol city of Tuscany(Toscano)
The city lies on the River Arno.
Well known for the history and its importance in the Middle Ages.etc.
The Famous Uffizi Gallery the oldest museum of the western world.

The day was lovely,high in the eighties and clear blue sky.
After breakfast,depart by private motorcoach to start our tour.
We will walked around the wonderful sights of Florence.
Visiting;Giotto's Bell Tower,Ghiberti Gates of Paradise and Bruncheeschi's Dome.
Then head off to Signoria Square.This is where the tour end.
Rest of the afternoon was our lesiure time.
Some went to Academia(home to Michaelangelo's David)and the Uffizzi Gallery.We had seen both of these on our first trip there and opt just to continued our exploring in walking.
The famous Ponte Vecchio bridge.
Back to the square is where all the action is.
Even seen a car race going around and around that this had drawn so many people.
All type of race car and it was great.Here is one :



Isn't that a beauty.
The fame David at the square and this is a replica and not the original.
At one time the original was there for some time.
They had to moved back in the home to saved it.
For it was getting ruined with the fumes etc.
They hauled it away and put this one in.
The replica is not bad at all.
Below are a series of pictures that I took before ending our day.
We had a light lunch as they called it.Right.
Hoped that you like them.


The famous Bell Tower.














Our Hotel "Montecatini"
Then back to the hotel and feeling tired,but elated
Wonderful dinner and pleny of wine.
A good time was had by all.
For me it was excellent.
Then tomorrow.
Cataract Surgerg.(Right Eye)
Left the 15th.
Up in early morning at six thirty is the time.
Good afternoon and take care.

About style, if you got the body, flaunt it. If you don't, please disguise it. That's me mantra.

Do you think that I can get away with it?

Beautiful photos. I remember back in the 50s, I was wearing pants or jeans all the time and was told that if I traveled to Europe, that I wanted to do, that I would have to wear dresses in order to get along with the people I met who were more conservative. I wouldn't, they insisted, be welcome if I looked casual. Now look at the way they are all dressing.

Back then,yes you will very seldom see them in jeans and let alone shorts
Today this is not and a newer generation.I hate thos skinny jeans and not sure if you are aware of the clothing line here?

The worse thing about visiting these places are the tourists. Too many. Otherwise.....

LOVE the pics, especially the last one! It seems so crowded from the pics, was it in person?

It is always fun to see the architecture from other places. It is so beautiful!
Best of luck with the cataract surgery tomorrow!
