Florence! (part 2)

More Florence! Coincidentally, Patty Hofboll, a friend from Philly, was planning to be in Florence the same day we were going to be there. However, my phone was refusing to work that day, so I couldn't call her to meet up. As fate would have it though, she happened to walk past me in a crowded piazza! So we got to spend a few hours together, exploring the Ponto Vecchio, a famous bridge in Florence.


Here's a closer look at the bridge. It has lots of cool buildings built out of the side of it.



Here's our crew. In an awesome surprise photo. Taylan, Mickey, and Sophie.


The bridge is full of jewelry shops, and is apparently a really common place for wedding proposals to happen. So of course, Mickey and Sophie had to get engaged on the middle of the bridge.

Here's what it looks like to walk along the bridge - cool tall buildings on either side, all full of jewelry shops.


Group shot on the bridge! You can see the next bridge in the background (there are several along the river)


One more Florence post on the way!
