So, I found a Mac computer!! That means I am loading photos and trying to catch up with blogging...
This is the view from my apartment, on the top of a five story building, right downtown Florence. I am kitty-corner from the center of town, where the statue David (actually a remake in it's original location) is. I can see the dome of the Duomo from my kitchen window/balcony.
These pictures are all from 5-18-08, when my roommates and I went out to explore yet again the city of Florence.
There are some bad pictures of the town square and a wild hog sculpture that you put a coin in it's mouth (it is a dripping fountain, so he drools on your hand) and make a wish and rub it's nose.
This is a video my roommates on the only original Medieval bridge in Florence, the Ponte Veccio. There is a guy playing guitar, then you hear an ambulance in the background. There are shops all along the bridge.
It was really late for dinner when we finally decided to eat out that night, and couldn't find anywhere except somewhere really schmancy called "Golden View Open Bar." They had amazing food, I had tortellini with wild boar in the sauce. OH!! and my friend Allison had something with truffle sauce, and I loved it! Amazing, a mushroom I actually liked.

Well, this was really interesting! I clicked on Duomo and got the Wikipedia definition - then I clicked on the Veccio thing and got Wiki again with an even more lengthy description. Not what I was looking for. So,....FAILED AGAIN, Nora. Bummer. Keep trying honey, you'll get it! If someone is taking movies, you must make a deal with her to get a copy when you return home. Wish we'd sent ours with you - love, mom
