Florence, home of the Rennaissance and all that is best about wine and food. The architecture is pretty spectacular too. Ok, then there's all the art. Did I mention the history? This was my second trip to Florence and Jes's first, and we are both looking forward to that as yet undetermined day when we get to go back. If you've been there, you know what I mean.

Below is a view of the bell tower taken from the top of the Duomo--you can see both in the picture above.
