Firenze

A little late... I know. I'm back in Amurca. Not too thrilled either, but I'm slowly getting back into the swing of things. (AKA working on losing my Italian food baby.) and finding a job... and returning to an unnatural shade of tan... and working on my photogs... and finals.

But, let's talk about Florence. Despite the horrific weather (it hailed... that hurts), Florence is pretty amazing. Shout out to Vivoli's riso gelato! YUM. And I had the BEST.MEAL.EVER at Za Za's. Osso Bucco Florentine. Yeah, this girl can eat (which is why I'm now paying for it by carrying a non-baby baby).
Before...
After...
Florence has this fun little market with a ton of kiosk thingys selling pretty much everything under the sun. Lots of leather... and fake cashmere... and costume jewelry... and men running from the cops with their Frada and Flouis (ahem... FAKE + Prada = Frada. FAKE + Louis Vuitton = Flouis) Ah, good times.
Me, Josh and Tyler at the Uffizi. Yep, that's the Duomo in the background.
Ponte Vecchio... which has the most gaudy and overpriced gold jewelry ever. But it was still nice to look. And some things were really very pretty, but entirely too expensive.
The boys... minus James. Seriously, I think they were in hog heaven. 3 boys surrounded by beautiful, smart, lovely girls for a month? Yeah, they enjoyed it.
