Here's part two of our last year's February trip to Italy. All of these pictures are from Florence. We spent one jam packed day there. It was quite nice, but I think the weather hampered our enjoyment just a bit. It was really cold and drizzling off and on. Even so, we made a point to try the famed gelato. Twice.
I'm going to try and finish up this trip's batch of photos in the next few days because I have a whole set from last year's March trip to Normandy I need to get up as well!
