La Dolce Vita-Una Passigiata

I've been cooped up inside for 14 days now.  What I thought was a simple cold was actually much more. So after  a couple of days on antibiotics I was seriously going stir crazy and decided it was time to get out and get some fresh air.  I took a walk that I haven't done in while, up into Piazzale Michealgelo, but instead of taking the known,  common route I decided on the road less traveled and wound my way through the side streets and less known paths and through the hills of the Tuscan countryside. I brought my camera along, it was sunset and the light was amazing. Here are a few shots of the evening in no particular order. I feel so much better now! It is this kind of beauty that truly enriches and inspires my life.

I think this is my favorite of all the photos I took. So sweetly waiting to go inside.

Foot path
The colors were amazing!







And this is my second favorite shot





Bella Firenze!
Very steep hill I walked down, then decided to turn around and walk back up. Talk about killer workout!

Path up to Piazzale Michelangelo from Porta San Niccolo'

Just a few reminders as to why I love this place so much. Florence truly is one of the most beautiful cities on Earth.

  7. Thank you! very sweet of you! I will remember that! :) for sure I'll go again, it's the city of my heart, forever. Hopefully, if my plan works, I will buy my own place there and I will go whenever I feel like it. Hmm... Not hopefully - that will happen eventually! Then I'll invite you for coffee and seven types of cookies, my house - in true old traditional Swedish style ;) you may take that as a promise!
