Florence & Siena

Florence's beauty really surprised me. When we booked Florence as part of our Italy adventure, I just pictured nice museums and buying some leather. The place we booked through Air BnB was right down the street from the Duomo, and when I first caught a glimpse of it I was amazed! It took up a whole street and was so beautiful. That definitely isn't where the beauty ended in Florence either. Each street was unique with the narrow side walks, little shops and cool architecture. The leather markets were awesome (I bought a red purse from a guy with Harry Potter glasses holding a Chihuahua) if you like the hustle that is, which my husband gets a kick out of.  We also had the best shawarma from a little hole in the wall place. Overall, Florence was fabulous.
