Our Wonderful Day in Florence

We spent 2 weeks in Milano Marittma this summer, a small vacation town in northern Italy.  It was a relaxing vacation with just the beach, exercise, evening walks and restaurants.  We had a wonderful time, but there is nothing for me to post about that would interest you.  However we did go to Florence for the day and a bit of sightseeing.  It was about an hour and a half drive from where we were.  We rented a mini van with a chauffeur and left with half the group we were on vacation with.  Here are a few photos of our fabulous day and a few of the most popular sights.


Beautiful view of the roof tops of Florence with the the Cathedral of Santa Maria Del Fiore and The Duomo.  It is the 4th largest Cathedral in the world.



Ponte Vecchio the oldest bridge in Florence.




Our wonderful friends who we spent the day in Florence with.  That's me, the third from the right.

The intricate work and sculptures on the outside of the cathedral.




A candy store and bakery with candied flower petals.  I don't know how they tasted, I just thought they were so pretty.
