Just got done exploring Florence for the night. This is an incredible city - easy walking, beautiful, hopelessly romantic. The thing to do here in the evening is to grab a bottle of wine and head to the steps of Michelangelo's Piazza which overlooks the city. I sat there for a few hours just taking in another warming sunset, along with about a hundred others doing the same thing. This scene alone was something out of a good book, and absolutely worth the one day trip. After enjoying the sunset creep into a panoramic night, I slowly strolled the town and came upon some great live music being performed on the steps of the piazza square in front of the Uffizi museum I had toured earlier. So I bought a slice of pizza across the street and sat there for awhile, joining the crowd as it watched on. Unlike Rome, where there seemed to be a good party going on every night, Florence is mostly peaceful and I have enjoyed the day walking its streets by myself, making just casual conversation with a few other tourists. I am absolutely spent after a very long day, so off to bed and on to Venice in the am...
