Fortunately, the weather was considerably better for our second day in Florence and the sun actually was out for most of the day...which made the temperature seem much warmer and we were able to dry out our soaking boots!
We went back to Ponte Vecchio, the famous bridge in Florence, and did some window shopping and people watching.
On the Ponte Vecchio there is this statue that is surrounded by a cast iron fence, and on apparently couples come and place a lock on the fence with their names written on it, what a cute idea!
After crossing the bridge we walked down to this wonderful park called Giardino di Boboli. It was so beautiful with bare trees and orange leaves covering the ground.
Then we got some delicious pizza and calzones at a place across from Il Duomo (pictured above) and continued to walk around the city until we had to leave to catch our train to Rome! Overall our time in Florence was great, and I especially loved all of the little markets set up throughout the city so much that out of the places I have traveled to so far, I think that Florence has the best markets!
