The City of Florence and Gelato. Lots and lots of Gelato...


Beautiful no? This was a view of the every night here in Florence over the Fiume river. But this is not all we have seen while in Florence. Not by a long shot. We have bought plenty of goods from the market, eaten the Italian cuisine consisting primarily of the best pasta and pizza I have ever had, and consumed mountains of gelato here in Florence. Today, our Italian tour guide Roberto took us on an "Off the Beaten Path", which consisted of taking us  through the history of the Tuscan's civilization, a winery tour, an amazing five course meal, and a walk-through of a medieval village. It was quite a way to end our visit here in the Tuscany region of Italy.

From shopping in the local markets to touring the countryside with our tour guide Roberto, our 2012 Study abroad group continues it's trek through Italy and into Rome tomorrow, our final destination. Hard to believe we are almost through with the trip.
