Florence: First Impressions

Juggling in front of the Duomo in Florence. I'm the white figure in the center.

Florence is a very busy city. It's full of tourists, shops, restaraunts and markets. It's much more cramped than Rome; most of the tourist attractions are within a half hours walk of each other. The cramped environment makes our whirlwind days even faster, and leaves little time for just chillin. We see one monument after the other, and hardly have time to take in the beauty when we're swept off to see something else. It's very hectic.

The only thing I really like about Florence is the food. The food is amazing, if you're willing to pay the price. 6 or 7 euro is hard to pay for some noodles and a little meat, but the flavor is well worth it. But that's all I have to say about Florence for now.
