A Farmgirl in Firenze

March 22, 2016 55 Comments

Farmguy and I are in Tuscany and having a lovely time. So far, we’ve had a wonderful experience sightseeing, learning about the art and history of Florence, visiting museums, wine tasting, and just soaking up the beautiful sun and scenery. From the Ponte Vecchio to baked pears in Barolo as well as Michelangelo’s David to Dolce & Gabbana, it’s truly been a treat. So much of our enjoyment during this visit is due to our good fortune in learning about a fantastic tour company called, Sunny Tuscany. These private tour guides certainly have made our time here memorable. Many thanks to Amy, Monika, and Riccardo for their helpfulness, warmth, and attention to detail. Here are a few photos from our time in Florence. I hope you enjoy! More pictures and adventures to come. 🙂
