Florence
Florence is a Medieval/Renaissance city in Tuscany. It rained nearly the whole time we were there and everything that went wrong on our trip went wrong in Florence. Still, it was quite beautiful there. Just don't stay at Hotel Latina, at least not in mosquito season.
 
Il Duomo: Florence's fabulous cathedral. The dome was designed by Brunelleschi.

The entrance to our hotel. More importantly, to the left of the door is the hardware store with locksmith (it's a long story...).
