Well Hello Mr. Sun!

While here in Florence for a weekend my friends and I wanted to get a better feel for this beautiful city we’re living in. We decided to take a picnic to Piazza Michelangelo, an area from which gives you views overlooking the entire city. We got a baguette, pecorino cheese, salami toscana, and a truffle spread to share for lunch. It could not have been a more perfect day! The sun was shinning and it was one of the warmest days we have had here. The view of Florence was amazing!! These are the small treasures of the city I will definitely miss when I leave!
The following day we decided to take a day trip to Siena, a town about an hour and a half from Florence. The city was BEAUTIFUL! A small hillside hideaway. We climbed to the top of their panoramic lookout. The tiny winding staircase was kinda rickety and I thought I was going to fall! But once we made it to the top I was very happy I made the trek. It was gorgeous and we just sat and stared at the Tuscan landscape. I loved how laid back the city was we sat in il Campo the city center and soaked in the sun and surrounding culture!
