Fall Break in Italy
I told myself that I wasn’t going to travel during the fall break this year, that I had just arrived in Budapest and I would spend some time really getting to know my new city.
But then, at the last-minute, I decided to go to Florence. It seems Italy’s magnetic pull on me is even stronger now that I’m in Europe, just an hour-long flight away.
I didn’t have much on the agenda other than visiting with Sophia and Lorenzo, drinking wine, eating good food, and having as much coffee as I could manage.
I spent my days wandering around Florence making sure everything was right where I left it (and for the most part it was) and visiting with friends around the city. The last day was a little jaunt to Siena where we spent the day exploring every nook and cranny of the Duomo.
It was lovely to be in a place that felt like home. Fingers crossed that next year I will triumphantly return with Italian passport in hand.
Beautiful photos!
Florence is magic. I had such a wonderful time when I went.

Only an hour away?! How could you *not* go? Sounds like a wonderful break adventure!
