I took this picture from Pescaia di Santa Rosa, a bridge that cuts across the Arno. When my friends and I finished our last Italian class of the semester, we wanted to celebrate by walking up Michelangelo to watch the sunset. But our dinner plans went later than expected, so instead we decided to jump the wall along the Arno and climb down to this local secret spot to watch the sunset. This was a clarifying moment when I really felt so appreciative of Florence's hidden gems that I am still finding even this late in the semester.
