Day 2:

I had so much left to do in Florence.  I wanted to see the statue of David and left early for the gallery.  Another long line but David was a sight for sore eyes.  Wow, I am again amazed at the ability of human beings!  This time out of admiration.  The statue is carved with so many details.  After that I paid a visit to the Duomo, a church dedicated to the St John, the city's patron saint.  Duomo

I wanted to go to more museums but decided that I was museumed out for the day.  I took a long stroll on Ponte Vecchio and bought myself some fine Italian leather--a briefcase!  I used my MBA negotiation skills to buy this beautiful handmade leather briefcase.  I love it.  While carrying my prized possession, I walked across the bridge.  Not wanting to miss my train, I headed back early.  I bought a small carryon luggage because I ran out of space for 12 euros.  Florence is certainly a shopping haven for poor tourists like me.
