Here is the view from our window in our B&B in Florence. We were in a sweet location, less than one block from Florence’s Duomo. We’ve also added a picture of the view from the roof terrace that all the guests could use. View from our Window #4 View from B&B Roof Terrace (toward Duomo) […]

…and the same goes for our blog posts. There’s so much to do here, and we’ve been trying to pack it all in. That has left little time for blogging, let alone thinking about what to post. I haven’t even written down everything we’ve done yet, but here is the quick and dirty laundry list. […]
