Senior Class Trip to Rome - Florence

We stop for 8 hours in Florence (Firenze) on the way to Rome, so the bus drivers can sleep. While there, we visit the Academia, where Michealangelo's "David" can be seen. Unfortunately, they do not let anyone take pictures these days.

This shot of the Arno river in Florence was the clearest we've seen in the three times we've been there. I am standing on the famous Ponte Vecchio as I took the picture.

Deb loves this shot as an exmple of symmetry. I tries to get the sculler to move over a few feet for my camera, but I guess he didn't understand my italian. Just joking, of course.

Hundreds of mopeds and scooters line the streets.

Anyone for gelati? Some of the best in Italy is in Firenze.
