Day 11

Lunch at the Central Market.

Piazzale Michelangelo

View of Florence from Piazzale Michelangelo.

Street fair in Florence.

We arrived back in Florence this morning and visited the Central Market, Duomo, and Casa Martelli. Casa Martelli is a wonderful museum that is an example of an 18th century nobleman's home. During the late afternoon, we traveled to the Piazza Michelangelo to see the panoramic views of Florence and the Arno Valley with friends from Florence. We spent the evening with these friends sharing a meal in their home. There was a street fair on their block that evening and we enjoyed visiting local vendors and being able to experience life as a local.
