Florence

---

Grettings from Tuscany - Florence was excellent although my very first impressions of Florence were not very nice. The very first thing I saw was vagrant peeing on the sidewalk right out side the train station. Roughly five minutes after that I realized that one of my bunk mates on the train ripped off roughly 200 euro from me. So as I'm trying to get my head straight, I'm looking for a map of the city, in the "birth place" of art everything has graffiti on it. And not even decent looking stuff, just black scribbles that any 5 year old could do. So I start walking about 100 meters from the train station I see an old lady, think the Stereotypical Italian Grandma, just stop in the street and launch two luggies on to a car windshield and the she keeps walking. But my feelings started to change when I saw the first picture. Ok this was the Florence teaser.....more will be shortly

The Duomo at Sunrise
This picture doesn't do the Duomo justice, but it is a nice one.

I forget the name
of this building and I too tired to look it up, trust me it is old, famous, beatiful.

Ponte Vecchio
a famous and old bridge
