(just ignore the gypsy beggars in the square and
get use to the naked men (ok, sculptures) everywhere!
Ron's welcoming us to Florence
Beautiful, crazy-colored marble Duomo
Bronze Baptistry doors
Picture postcard Duomo
Amazing
Piazza della Signoria
Where the David originally stood
(copy there now--still impressive)
but "real" David even more impressive
Loggia filled with fantastic marble sculptures
(I can name them all if you want)
Oh, and the Uffizi Gallery around the corner--
how did I forget that?
Botticelli, Leonardo and Michelangelo
Shopping
shopping
and yes, more terrific shopping
Our Florence artist
Funky, Florence hotel
(extra bed just in case we find a friend)
great food at "the porcupine"
Fabulous Franco from Florence
manager of Porcupine (loves America and George Bush!)
Just checking out the view
Crazy, beautiful view
The artist comes out in all of us in Florence
walking in beauty
The Ponte Vecchio bridge
Our days were too short in Florence--
but we must leave on the 6 o'clock train--
Venice awaits.
Wow--I absolutely love the pink wallpaper from your hotel. Also, I think it is amazing that you didn't see Jonathan and his wife, because I think you went on the exact same vacation!
