A Day of Touring in Florence


Hello Everyone!

We had a marvelous day of visiting in Florence. Yesterday our plan was to walk all around and take advantage of the sunny weather. We stopped last night and bought tickets for the Uffizi Gallery for this morning because it was supposed to be cloudy and probably rain. Even though it started out sunny in the morning, the clouds did come in, and it did rain late in the afternoon.

We spent all morning and part of the afternoon in the Uffizi, it was a great visit. Getting back to the hotel just before the rain started was also a plus. After supper and a brief rest we went back out and walked around town and were treated to the lights of the city down along the river. It was a very good day.
