Florence
We went back up north for some time in Firenze.
Piazza S.M. Novella
The new piazza benches .. only just opened.
Sheel offered to buy me these.
Or these ...
We sought out, and found Florence's Obika Mozzarella Bar. In 3 days, we ate there for 2 lunches.
The menu illustrates where all of the artisan food is from, on the map.
walked around Florence ...
Boboli Garden ...
We didn't do the entire garden on our prior visit in 2007, so this time we went through every corner.
Lots of walking around ...
S. Croce
Dante
The lucky boar ...
Did the pilgrimage to the Prada Outlet Store, with cousin Roberto
Went to Gelateria De Medici, again
Then we left to return back to Asiago - first we visited Padova.
And eventually made it back to Asiago, JP was in his summer training.
But he took an off day to bring us to Venice
And the next day, we went to the top of the ski mountains above Asiago
Had some Spritz with friends in Asiago, and came back home.
