Florence 2010

Shannon wanted to go to Florence for her birthday this year for some good food and shopping. We visited the famous Uffizi museum and saw one of the most famous art collections in the world. We had both seen the David on previous trips so we decided to skip the line this time and just see the replica at the Piazza della Signoria. However Art museums were high on Shannon’s list of things to do so we also visited the Palatine Gallery and the Modern Art gallery. We also got some of Florentine history in with our tours of the Famous Duomo and the Medici Royal Apartments. Shopping was one of the priorities for this trip so we visited the leather market a couple times. We both brought back some nice souvenirs from our trip.
