Europe Day 4: In the Florence Paradise

Waking up in Florence, Italy is extremely easy since the busy city is much alive in the morning. We had breakfast in a very pretty building (since I'm writing this a few months later I don't know the name) and just had a pastry and some cafe latte. In Europe, I did decide to class it up a bit with my clothing so I was wearing a dress I got from a shop called Blue Sand in Milan.
Early Breakfast

Cute little dress!
This red dress is so comfy and so nice in the hot Florence weather. Dresses in Italy are the best to wear since it is burning hot in July. Also as you can see I have my fancy Florence Red Pass on me (the official tourist flag) and it is so flattering for this outfit.... hint of sarcasm...
We were done with breakfast and went to a small mansion from back in the Medici time period (it is the house behind me in the above picture). This house was three stories and had amazing decor. The walls had intricate paintings and very renaissance like.
Huge room inside!

The bathrooms on the other hand... well there was a hole... and not much else...
After the mansion we strolled out into the Florence air and ran into very cute markets full with all sorts of items.
Colorful!!
Then we went to a Galileo museum (I can't believe how much that man thought of things). It was pack full of random objects that were super interesting.
Spherical Device!

Most of the day we did walk around a lot, have some gelato here and there, and stroll around the plazas. Now here is a ton of pictures of the rest of our day!!
Old Medici castle!

Food time!

Ravioli!!! and wine...

The group with food!

Now we feast!!
The dinner was at a lovely little restaurant in front of the Pitti Palace (New Medici castle) and they had some perfectly cooked ravioli. It was a wine restaurant so we had a lot of wine with our dinner but the best part was the food. At this place I stuffed my face with all of the pasta. We stayed at this restaurant until very late in the night (I think we stayed for about 4 hours!). After this fantastic feast we all retired to our rooms to a much needed sleep. Day five coming soon!!
