I've been busy working this past week, but wanted to share a few images of San Niccolo, the area of Florence where I live.
 |
| San Niccolo, with the San Niccolo tower on the left. Lots of green here! |
 |
| This is what Florence looks like on the other side of the river Arno...not much green space. |
 |
| Chiesa San Niccolo: The bell rings every day, right outside my window. I love it! |
 |
| The Piazzetta outside my apartment: a gathering place by day and night. |
 |
| Enoteca or wine bar, where people stop for a glass of wine. |
 |
| Osteria: a restaurant down the street |
There's also several other
ristoranti, a
forno, where they sell bread and cooked foods for take-out, a
gelateria, a tiny
alimentari (grocery store) with produce, wine and other essentials, and a
cartoleria, where you can buy stamps, notebooks, and get xerox copies. I love living in this part of Florence, and am enjoying the chance to explore the
Oltrano (other side of the river) and all that it has to offer.
 |
| This is in one of the parks that I walk by every day. |
