When a person writes about visiting a city, myself included, they tend to write about specific sights, cultural institutions, or events. But one of the joys of visiting a city is just getting out and walking around. Taking in the sights and sounds of someplace new, someplace different.
My first two days in Florence, I just spent time wandering through its historic center. I have visited before, but this time I really just wanted to look. so with no specific destination, I left my hotel and wandered, camera in hand. This is what I found, in no particular order.
