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 ...
Day 9: Florence
... so we didn't go in. Hopefully it will be less crowded during the week. We kept going until we got to Ponte Vecchio, which is a 13th-century bridge with shops and restaurants all along it. What a neat place!!! We really loved it. We waked over the bridge, ate some gelatto, window shopped and pined over $350 leather jackets and $2,500 necklaces. Bradley, of course, wanted the pigs made out of slime that you throw on the ground and ...

No photos were allowed to be taken in the museum so sorry, no photos of the original statue (but i did take photos of the replica :-) )
From the museum I then made my way to grab some dinner. Dinner was fantastic...after dinner I made my way back to ...
Florence Duomo & strolling down the Arno
... staircase is relatively steep and should not be attempted if you are claustrophobic. The first part of the climb is fairly easy and straight forward... Perhaps a little narrow but not necessarily steep. At the base of the dome is the first stop where you have an arial view of the octagonal choir of the cathedral below and 7 round stained-glass windows (by Donatello, Andrea del Castagno, Paolo Uccello and Lorenzo Ghiberti) that circle the inner dome above. When ...
