Sara's Florence favorite: the FREE Rick Steves' audio tour that we took through the city!  Thanks to our friends who let us in on this fabulous secret!

Listening to our audio guide - a shared iPod

Our tour took us past the Duomo

Our last stop was at a hotel with what must be the best view of Florence.  Katie whisked us up to the rooftop like an expert.  Worked like a charm!
