library-monastery?! ...aperitivo in Florence

Kat met me at the train station when I arrived in Florence and we walked from the station to aperitivo - to grab something to eat for an early dinner. She took me to a great place... just behind the Duomo... in what used to be a monastery and is now a library/cafe. YES! We went to Biblioteca delle Oblate.

Florence's beautiful and impressive Duomo!

The lovely KAT!

Walking up the stairs within the monastery... pretty lovely views:

Definitely a beautiful place with a view for aperitivo when first arriving to Florence!
