Florence, Italy

Florence, Italy
Everyone needs a trip to the countryside of Italy. It's just good for your soul. Between the wine and the views, you really feel like you are walking through a picture. 

Favorite Memory
Our hands-down favorite thing we did in Florence was a day tour of the countryside. We were paired with two other couples (one from Australia and one from Connecticut) and a tour guide who spent half of his life in Boston and the other half in Florence… so he had quite the accent and perspective. The day was filled with countryside views, cheese, breads, meats and wine, wine, wine. We learned all about Italian wines… how people live in Florence and we got to meet the Baron of one of the wineries that we enjoyed dinner. It was the perfect Florence experience.
