Canolis & the Baptistery of San Giovanni!

Imagine a perfect starry night...in florence. A flaky canoli shell, with creamy canoli center, topped off with powdered sugar & chocolate chips while sitting on the steps of the Cathedral. That was my night tonight. After some wondering we settled down for a delicious dessert on the steps and did some serious people watching. A gypsy came up to us and asked us for change, some couples canoodled nearby, some tourists like ourselves were taking pictures, bike riders everywhere, dogs walking, and children playing. It sounds like a movie. After some leisure time, we walked just a few steps to the Baptistery of San Giovanni. We had no clue what it was just that it looked pretty inside. For 4 euros we were in and it was soooo worth it as Jess put it. Inside that beautiful place was gold, beautiful pictures, an alter, and some incredible statues. We were in awe. A million pictures later, we left and walked around the Duomo. It is quite beautiful at night. The city was alive tonight and it was amazing to be apart of it all. Ciao!
