Firenze

After Venice, we were off to Florence to meet the rest of the fam. We packed in a lot of walking, ate delicious food, saw divine art, and even ran into my darling cousin Ryane. A little family reunion in Florence (not Alabama).

Favorites include drooling over the soaps and lotions in Santa Maria Novella Farmacia...

climbing the Duomo...

walking to Piazza Michelangelo to watch some peaceful clouds...

and our hostess Donatella's luscious, fresh breakfast feasts.

Here are a few more pics from Florence...

Venezia

Here’s a little Venice to start your week. Highlights include the Caffé Florian, the oldest café in Europe and the place where Casanova had his last sip of coffee before skipping town... traversing over canals to discover hidden gems... and there was the BEST dinner of my life at the osteria in Campo Santa Marina. Yes, that’s rosemary and lavender gelato on those berries… thank you Venice.

Yeah Yeah, I Know.

Okay, I get it. I didn't keep up with the blog. Well can you blame me? I was in freakin' Italy. Now that I'm back and managing my jet lag, I will also manage some posts.

Promise.
