I spent most of my birthday herding mom and Bob from Rome to Florence, but we pretended to celebrate anyway. However, I did successfully negotiate a birthday re-do the next day that was much more up to standard.

| Happy 28 to me! |
The Churches
 |
Il Duomo
Hard for this place to not be at the centre of any visit to Firenze. |
 |
Basilica of Santa Maria Novella (with a façade in the same style as il duomo)
 |
 |
| Florentine synagogue |
The Food
 |
The real reason that anyone with any sense goes to Italy.
And the real reason why I will never allow myself to live there. |
A Chocolatefall Wall. Need I say more?
The Sights
 |
| Mom insisted on a selfie with David. #awkward |
 |
| Not sure why but sights like this make it so easy to love Italy. |
 |
| My hair was basically in a constant state of unrest the entire trip. |
Pinocchio is a Florentine. Naturally, we found Gipetto's workshop.
 |
| Ponte Vecchio |
 |
| So many scarves, so little room in my backpack. |
 |
| Graffiti David in the Mercato Centrale food court |
 |
| Inside the Palazzo Vecchio |
 |
| View from Piazzale Michelangelo overlooking Florence |
 |
| Tuscany at sunset. #simplepleasures |
Hopefully at some point I'll get all of our group pics from Chloe so that it looks like the 5 of us actually did travel together. Kind of.
Love this! So great! :) Happy Birthday
