Back to Florence plus our last day in Italy

So back to Florence we went. First we explored the Ufizzi and saw so much amazing and beautiful art. I will always love how old it all is and how beautifully preserved it is. After all the art we once again made it across the Ponte Vecchio onto lunch and the Pitti Garden. Interestingly there was actually a Gelato Festival going on over there but we held ourselves back and did not get any over there. The biggest temptation might have been the gelato cocktails :)
After all that we just walked around and around not getting at all lost :) We found this cool area where some guys where drawing in chalk on the road on our way to this beautiful old apothecary/perfumery. All in all it was a great last day of city exploration.



On the very last day we spent our day exploring the area around Casa Cares. We were taken to the farm where Paul gets his olive oil and wine harvested. The winery was the coolest to me. See below

We walked to this great pizzeria and on the way back Katie and I went exploring in the Waterfall creek again and found a little friend that might have freaked me out just a little. I seem to somehow attract snakes.



And now onto England I go to enjoy time with that crazy fun cousin of mine Amy :)
