Florence and Cinque Terre

What can I say about Florence? Colorful, Friendly, Quaint. We stayed at a charming Bed & Breakfast called IL Torrino. The owners, Pierro and Letizia were such a sweet couple who made our experience so amazing! Pierro and Letizia would drop us off each day at San Marco square and from there The Mr. and I spent all day walking around Florence discovering all the beauty and charm and hitting all the sights. It was beautiful!  Florence is a much smaller version of Rome. Lots of History, Lots of Color and so much to do. My favorite part was seeing the David. During our journey in Florence, we decided to visit Cinque Terre. Cinque Terre is a place on the west coast of Italy that has 5 towns jetting off the coast of the Italian Riviera. The towns align the coast and has become a great hiking spot for tourists. The coastline is incredible. The hike was super intense!! The views, breathtaking. I'll always treasure the sights I've seen and places I've been.
