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.

This is a top pick!
... Before exploring the town we first stranded on a little square where we had a lovely lunch. I had some beef stew and Linda ordered a wild boar. Soon we swapped plates as the boar was more to my likings and the beef more to Linda's.
