Monday in Florence

Gelato shops were open today. Eventhough it was cold we enjoyed the Italian icecream.

Greg Ithought about you when I saw these cufflinks- but they were about $75

Italian fast food- hot dogs, hambergers and french fries:
This is my roomate-Mami

Mami, me and Marsella on one of the many bridges in Florence. The one behind us, Ponte Vecchio, was the only one left standing after ww2. But because it was protected a lot of the buildings in the city were destroyed during the war. The people said they wish the bridge had been destoyed, because it would have been easier to rebuild one bridge than several buildings.

It has houses and shops all across the bridge- very unique.

This was a trre growing on the second floor of this building!

In side the Palace Strozzi- now a public building, for schools and art exibits. with a small history museum.

I bought olives, cheese and artichokes for my lunch here.
