None of these pictures can do justice to the Duomo. It takes your breath away. By far, my favorite part of Florence. They wanted to charge 8 Euros apiece to go inside the dome. We passed. We did go inside some churches in Florence that were really beautiful and moving with their artwork, but we were not allowed to take pictures inside of them.
Florence really lived up to its reputation, and then some. This is taken from the Piazza (one of at least 10 piazzas of Florence) Michaelangelo across the river from the main part of the city. 
It leans even more than you would think...to the extent where you feel nervous standing to the right of it. They did have a few people climbing the tower and waiving to friends. They wanted to charge a lot of money for just 20 minutes of climbing, so we passed.
Chinque Terre is translated "5 towns." They are some of the most picturesque cliffside villages. From our hike, we could see Monterosso from above.
