Florence

Florence is a lot like San Francisco, small enough town to walk with lots of shopping and eating

Jesse and his phone saved the day so many times.  He took us to so many great places we otherwise  would never have found

a lot of the houses had these illegal wine holes where they use to sell wine to the public without having to pay taxes 

Typical Jesse holding up his 360 camera taking videos

We were wandering the streets and came upon this church, Cathedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore.  It was so massive and ornate

shopping in the leather district for a purse, I found the perfect one

We took another food tour.  Here the guy is making fresh pasta to eat as "fastfood" in the market place.  We tried a bunch of different raviolis and the lemon with ricotta was out of this world

We had the best tour guide and we almost went to her house the next day to learn how to make ravioli but she only had time in the evening.

Dessert on the tour was Coccolo where you got to stuff the inside of the bread/dough with your choice of Nutella, Cream or Apricot.   It's kind of like a cream filled donut

We headed to the gardens to burn off all our food
