Day 8 - Santa Maria Novella & around Florence

What?! Only two photos for the day? WTH?!

Our original plan for today was to take a bus out to Siena, and as much as we would have loved to visit that great little Tuscan town, we decided to slow down and take a bit of a break. We've been so on-the-go for so many days that we've realized that we're tired, and need to give our bodies and feet a well-deserved break.

So, we slept in, ordered in breakfast and relaxed in our room all morning. Ahhhh!!! Felt much more rested after that. :)

We did head out in the afternoon to see a few sites. We walked to the Santa Maria Novella, which was a beautiful church. Beautiful architecture and full of frescos and renaissance paintings.

We went back to Pugi Pizza (which is served on focaccia) which has been our favorite place for pizza so far.

Finally, we did some window shopping. Florence is full of boutiques and designer stores. I didn't buy anything, but it is fun to browse!

Oh, and did I mention there was more gelato? :)
