We managed to drag ourselves out tonight after a very long flight and a couple of train rides. We landed in Florence around 4PM and we all were completely spent. Still, we managed to make it out for dinner at the Osteria Cinghale Bianco in Florence’s Oltrarno section. We then took a quick walk around town before heading back to the hotel. Here are a few shots from tonight.

After 5 years lugging my Canon G9 camera all over the world, I decided to upgrade a bit and just received a shiny new Sony NEX 5N. I was a bit hesistant to depart from the big names in the photo industry–Canon, Nikon, etc.–but I am very satisfied with my decision. I went to the Bernheim Forest in KY this weekend to test out the new toy. Here are a few photos from Sunday. Keep an eye on the blog starting Nov 18 as I start a 2 week trip to Italy (surprise) and Istanbul.
