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.

I had been searching for gelati since we arrived in Italy but nowhere really had different flavours ...
As one era ends...
... of other works from the 1300s and on. There was also an extra exhibit on musical instruments featuring harpsichords, violincellos, and dulcimers. The David itself looks just like it does in pictures,only more real. No photos were allowed so we took some of the copy outdoors.
Just for fun we walked over the Ponte Vecchio once more, since Nora was awake and enjoyed looking at all the sparkly things in the ...
