This is What Dreams are Made Of - Part Two

Friday morning we caught an early train to Florence, where we immediately caught a second train to the small, but well known town of Pisa. After a short walk through one of the most adorable towns I have ever visited, we found it! Pictures don't do it justice. It is way more tilted in person. When lunch rolled around, we couldn't turn down pizza in Pisa.  

Found some WiPi!

Pizza in Pisa...couldn't resist! 

One of my most favorite pictures from the trip

Shortly thereafter, we returned to Florence, where we met my cousin Allie and two of her friends who were also visiting. She took us to Piazzale Michaelangelo, one of the highest points in Florence with a stunning view of the city. We ate fabulous homemade pasta at Yellow Bar (thanks TripAdvisor app!) and had a lovely tour of the city. Saturday morning we visited the San Lorenzo Market, which was incredible. I have never seen so many items for sale (really, on sale as well)!

Cousins in Florence!

Fake David...we were too cheap to pay for the real deal!

Chianti and Homemade Gnocchi 

Friends and Family in Florence!

The majority of Saturday was spent traveling and recuperating my immune system, which took an unfortunate turn for the worse towards the end of our fabulous trip. We took a train from Florence back to Milan, a bus from the train station to the airport, and then caught our flight from Milan back to Alicante....and I slept like a baby through each one. It was an absolutely incredible weekend, and I am so fortunate to have had the opportunity to travel, and fabulous friends to travel with.
