Firenze, Italia

Firenze or Florence as we call it is an extremely beautiful place with lots of character. The different architecture on the buildings from different eras was stunning.

One thing about Italy there was a MacDonolds at every train or bus station. In Germany it was lots of Burger Kings.

I love Italian food and the food here was terrific. Very much like the Italian food in the USA. So many places to see in Firenze, San Lorenzo, Santa Maria Novella, Maria Del Duomo, Bargello, Vecchio, Santa Croce, Pointe Vecchio, Santa Spirito, Pota Romana, Galileo, Piazzale Michelangelo, and a lot to be said about each one, plus the view of Firenze from Viale Machiavelli was stunning. I put a lot of miles on my feet in Firenze.

Contrary to what I had heard about being safe in Italy, I found it to be very safe. I saw no problems and there was planty of police. I walked just about the whole place.

Lots of tourist from everywhere. I met a British girl, about mid 30, along the sites that was also taking pictures at the same places I was, she was very nice and not Italian. She was going on the 4 pm train to Pisa and I was on the 6 pm train to Pisa.

Well that is all, back to Hamburg, Take Care, Jorge
