As you all know, this weekend the London girls finally arrived in Florence! We had a jam packed 2 days of guiding them around Florence, which truly felt like "our city." We brought them to all the Piazzas, the chocolate festival in Santa Croce, and the leather market. They were allowed to enter their hostel at 5pm so we parted to get ready for a new aperitivo spot for dinner. We tried out Oibo, which had a good spread of food and delicious drinks, and it is located right next to our favorite bar. After that first spot we moved along to our regular bar, Naima... where we stayed for the whole night. Our plan was to go to the club, Full Up, but everyone was exhausted since their travels started at 3:30am.
Since we aren't too big on the breakfast here in Florence, which consists mostly of cookies, and crossaints (I have cereal every day) this morning, Stacey, Caroline and I went to breakfast at The Diner, an american diner to have some eggs. amazing. Sorry I always talk about food...oops.
After a meal to gain some energy, we showed them the Duomo and then we finally completed the task of climbing up the dome part of the church. It was 463 steps up to the top, where you could walk around on the inside of the dome to see all of the artwork, and then you could go outside of the dome to see the entire city of Florence. For the cost of 8 euros, it is probably the most breathtaking scene I will ever see.
Didn't you ever read Eat, Pray, Love?? 1/3 of the whole book is about food in Italy!
