Day 10: Florence
... of Michelangelo, Galileo, Niccolo Medicci and Dante, as well as works by Donatello. On our way there, we walked through a little alleyway where school children were being let out for the day and families were there picking them up (no one was in a car; everyone walked or rode bikes). It was a very cute, Italian, everyday scene, and we enjoyed watching it unfold. All the parents picking up their kids had some kind of snack for them -- that must be some kind of tradition or regular ...

Standing in the square, I felt surrounded by the beauty of the views. It was like the views were penetrating through ...
Greeting from Florence
Hello!
As you could guess from the title, Im in Florence. And once again Im on a dodgy keyboard. This time it is not so bad, but there will be no apostrophes in this entry, sorry.

Now that Im here, Florence seems lovely, if a bit ...
