Beauty

Florence was captivating. I was once again disappointed however, because as I mentioned earlier, all the restaurants were close, and most of the locals were gone. However, one can not help but marvel at the true beauty of this city.

hot hot hot!!

Remember, going to Italy in August is not for those who are prone to heat stroke or who are sensitive to extreme sunlight! It's very hot and humid!

Cute souvenir stands

They have some really quirky souvenir stands all over the city. Go check it out because some of them are hilarious!

  • Pros:Great views, good for panoramic pictures!

    Oh, Avery, your Florence photos make me want to return even more! Really I wish I can return to Florence (and Tuscany) this autumn. What a huge wish though!

    Ah yes, lingams... Most puzzling organs that can stir both amusement and arousal in women... Is there, then, a cerebral link between hilarity and orgasm...?? It seems there could be...
