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 ...
Sheisse

First Week in Firenze Italy
... the week by far, beginning with Wednesday night spilling over into the wee hours of Thursday morning. Wednesday night was Rob's birthday so Adrian and I took him out after he ran 21 miles practically barefoot.
