Daughter's Trip to Italy - Part 2

This continues Daughter L's trip to Italy from yesterday's post.

L and her girlfriend had reserved an Airbnb 2 bedroom townhouse in central Florence for the week.  They were very happy with it being steps from the Duomo and all the major galleries.  There was also a  fantastic gelato ice cream bar nearby.

The girls downloaded Rick Steve's free audio tours of the galleries and sites they visited and said it added a wealth of information to their experience.  Here is Michelangelo's David at the Accademia Gallery.

Here is Botticelli's famous 'Birth of Venus' at the Uffizi Gallery:

Stay tuned for Part 3 tomorrow!

  1. I hear Airbnb are really trendy lately, I think I might try it versus a hotel the next big trip. Though it did go sour for a few. I got really upset over a news story of some lady in California refused to rent out to a woman because she was Asian.
