This week’s WordPress Photo Challenge theme is TREAT:
- Maybe you’re a savory food lover, or you’ve gone on a beautiful vacation to treat yourself. Perhaps some quiet time alone with a beloved novel is your greatest treasure.
As luck would have it, self is traveling again. And self does love traveling. It is one of her greatest passions.
This time, she is traveling with her niece Irene, who’s from Glendale, California. It was Irene who proposed the trip, something of a first for self!
Today was our first full day in Florence. We walked all over the city. Irene has tons of energy! We also picked up a Firenze Card which, according to Irene, gains us entry into 62 museums.
But, honestly, who wants to go to 62 museums???
This is the first time self has ever done anything like this, though, so what the hey! She is being very “Zen” about everything.
Found a tiny restaurant overlooking the Arno River and tried some Florentine beer: very mellow!
It was a gorgeous, sunny day. Warm, almost like spring!
Overlooking the Arno River. There were lots of boaters out today!
We stumbled on this piazza lined with statues, just off the Uffizi Gallery:
We stumbled upon this square almost by accident, while heading for the Arno River. And — Whoa! Irene met a handsome carabinieri!
Someone had told Irene that November in Florence wouldn’t be as crowded as it gets in other months. But it was still crowded.
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.
