Florence Extra Photos

Lou posed with a police woman.














 

Check out some of the more unique forms of transportation.

A man and his pigeons.

Some crazy displays of gelato. We learned that "bigger" is not always "fresher."

 Not many Mexican restaurants in Italy. Probably a good thing.

I will stick with the pizza.

I did have a chance to run into a Subway restaurant for a quick photo. It looked pretty much the same.

 Lou fell in love with this chalk drawing outside the Accademia Gallery.

Pinocchio was popular in many stores. His name is derived from the Italian word for Pine Nut. 













Sharon, who was on our tour, got a great photo with him.

Speaking of long noses, here is a tasteless but funny postcard I bought.

I enjoyed this sign that was posted on the wall by the Arno river. I assumed the translation was something like, "Please don't throw trash on the people below."
The actual translation is (I swear I am not making this up), "If you practice basketball here, you are an idiot."

Here is the view over the wall.

Rick Steves' had warned us that we might have to walk 8 miles in a day. Here is my pedometer showing that we walked 8.2 miles. I am making this up. It is actually two days worth of walking. I forgot to reset it.
