Follow me through Florence/Firenze...

Fifi (black leather coat) looking at the Brunelleschi Dome... wondering how did they building like this without all the modern construction equipment... Poseidon Statue in DellaSignoria Square...
The tower of the Palazzo Vecchio... The Uffizi Gallery on each side...My photo inspired this painting...Le billet to get into the Galleria Uffizi... isn't this ticket stunning...Home to Sandro Botticelli's famous "Venus on a Half Shell" as I like to call it!My sketch book drawing of Venus...
Fifi standing next to the Arno River...

Fifi paints the scene... Good shopping and ristorantes along the Arno... LOVE this man in uniform... I think our police should dress like that...
Across the the Ponte Vecchio filled with jewelry shops... We venture to the Piti Palace... The beautiful grounds featuring a HUGE bathtub...The view from the the Piti Palace grounds also known as the Boboli Gardens is AMAZING... look at Firenze from here...
I hope you liked the tour... J'adore Firenze/Florence... I would return AGAIN... the architecture, the food, the people were all DIVINE... and I believe could have a job painting on the streets of Italy...PLEASE GO VISIT PETUNIA TODAY AND SEE ALL THE FABULOUS STREET PAINTERS OF FLORENCE AND HEAR ABOUT MY PAINTING ADVENTURE IN THE TOWN SQUARE!!!

Oooooh and Merci to ALL that helped Fifi and Petunia hide away... I'm really not even sure what the latest status in about the missing Sketch Book... perhaps they have found the real thief... until I know for sure I'm off to Lucca... please join me tomorrow... the lovely Valentina of Les Cotrions has agreed to shelter us... she has found us a place to stay... FAB sites to view and delicious food to taste...

Au revoir until tomorrow... ENJOY!

Today's photos are all MINE from my trip to Florence in 1992 with my mother (she is in the photo with Poisedon and the HUGE bathtub)... a FAB trip!
