What I learned in Florence

Even though Florence isn’t as big as Rome, it’s still really easy to get lost. Just because you think you are headed in the right direction, you may discover that you are going in the totally opposite direction of say the museum that Michelangelo’s David is housed in and then you have to run really fast through the streets trying to get in the reserved lineup, so you end up arriving soaked in sweat, just say’n this could happen
Leave time to really take in Michelangelo’s David – it is a masterpiece

Just a personal observation: I’m fairly sure that Michelangelio’s David was a hockey player, seriously the best hockey butt I have ever seen

Reserve tickets to get into the museums here, avoids the really, really long lineups
Gelato is very good for lunch

Never order a cappuccino in the afternoon, very uncouth
Florence is gorgeous
Florence needs to be on your bucket list
The Uffizi is very hot, bring a fan or wear short sleeves, I was boiling and we walked through it on the last day of September , may have something to do with being sweaty from running around trying not to get lost again
Make sure you check out the early books in the Uffizi, incredible
Gelato is good for dinner, just say’n
