Mario Duomo

We ate at a place called Mario’s. It was good. We saw the Duomo. There, now we have a pun for the blog title. What more do you want!

It’s nice to be back in a landlocked, navigable place. Florence was much dirtier, grittier and less graceful than I imagined. It’s crowded.

Otherwise Florence is what you expect, we don’t have much more to say. We had a great time. We saw Michelangelo’s David, which is way more impressive in person, unlike the Mona Lisa. This makes sense, since the former is very big. Also saw a bunch of other art. And pretty bridges. And the Duomo, which we climbed for beautiful sun-baked cityscapes. And more great food. Italy is the place in Europe to splurge.

We’re just stating the obvious here. In case you couldn’t tell from the opener, I’m struggling with this one. Naples is less obvious, read that.
