Waking up to the bells of Florence

The bells of the Duomo woke me up at seven this morning, I just lay in our bed and wept. It was amazing. I could not BELIEVE that I was there. Florence.
We went to the Ufizzi, one of the most famous museums in the whole of the earth and I got to see Bottacelli's immortal "Spring" and "The Birth of Venus.", it was Bottacelli's work that impressed me most. I also got to walk across the Ponte Vechio...the bridge I have been singing about in the song "O Mio Babbino Caro" for the past ten years. It was wonderful. I love Florence. I bought a Florence sticker. :)
