Day 10: Florence
... that didn't stop Mom, Dad, Tom and me from walking around the whole city while CJ worked on some schoolwork. We had a late start because we putzed around the apartment a bit and Mom and Dad found a cool market where they bought us some food for the next few days. When we ventured out, we walked out to Ponte Vecchio again (can't get enough of that bridge!) and over to the other side, where we had lunch, wine, and the first cannoli of the trip. We continued along the Arno River ...

'Fair Firenze' - Florence
... We went to the death penalty museum to have a quick look and saw a gory depiction of someone who had their head chopped off with the guillotine and it was being held up by the executioner - charming. We didn't have a lot of time to look around because we had to get back down to the bus, because we had been told that there had been a tour recently where someone didn't get back to the bus on time and they got left behind.
