    Day 7 – Our “Free” Day

    When I was thinking this morning about today’s recap, I was worried it might be a short post because we didn’t have anything officially slated for the itinerary. But it turns out in Florence, when you don’t have anything to do, you end up walking more than 20,000 steps (putting each of us at well over 100,000 for our first seven days in Italy) and filling the day up from 9 am to 11 pm.

    I’m still not going to write a whole lot as we’re all pretty exhausted. I’ll just let the pictures (and video) do the talking.

    Morning Kayak on the Arno

    Palazzo Pitti

    Because Eleonora di Toledo wanted a garden, the Medicis moved from Palazzo Veccio to Palazzo Pitti in the mid 1500s.

    End of the day libations & food

    Tagliatelle flambé al tartufo fresco in crosta di Grana Padano. The famous cheese wheel at Osteria Pastella.
    As good as it looks!

    Good night from Florence!
