Yellow, Green and Brick



What makes Florence, Florence? I think it is the yellow sizzling sun of the brisk November weather, the green misty fields of the Tuscan region and the orange brick rooftops full of hundreds of years of architectural history.

If only it wasn't so touristy :(. Although great shopping for the fashionistas getting the latest of italian leather boots and bags, it is hard to get away from the busy streets and high rocket pricey snack bars and ristorantes.

Yet what makes it all worth it is the Uffizi gallery with the golden locks and innocence of Boticelli's Birth of Venus, and the Galleria Del'Academia with the massiveness of manhood of Michelangelo's David. These are just some of the perks stopping by Florence, even if for half a day.
