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 ...

Genius and Art centre of the world!
... handy to hide the tears somewhat, a great idea actually. I could easily go on about this but I'd rather not, maybe it’s more for a letter then for the public blog.
