I've rekindled a great love with one near and dear to my heart today-- Florence.
We arrived this afternoon and it was definitely like coming home. I say that a lot, so I guess there are quite a few places that I've grown to love in the past few years...
Florence is just one of those cities that you can't help but love. It's bright and busy, but infinitely in touch with its historical side (which, obviously, is important to me).
The train ride from Venice didn't hurt either. There's something comforting about the Italian countryside-- I think it may be that only rich, earthy tones are to be found, no matter where you look. It's beautiful and soft and, well, comforting...
Apparently I'm not at my most articulate today, so perhaps I should keep this short...
Venice was a quaint city and definitely nicer than I had anticipated (I had heard a lot of negative comments prior to my visit). It rained the whole time we were there, so it was cold and wet, but that didn't really detract from the whole experience.
It was beautiful but, like I said, it's great to be back in Florence.
We're here for six more days, so I'm sure I'll have more to write about (and hopefully I'll actually be able to express those thoughts and feelings by then...)
ps: the food has most definitely improved too!
