First things first:

The Giants win the Pennant!  The Giants win the Pennant!!

After staying up all night to keep current on important baseball events back in the U.S. (I really know how to leave it all behind when I travel), had a great time wandering around Firenze.

Castle Gardens outside of town

Throw-away Chapel

Gratuitous Castle Sculpture

Galileo lived nearby

Galileo's electric cars - ok I made that up:

DaVinci's Garage

Michelangelo's Bicycle

Went shopping - not:

Boutique across the street

Even the mannequins are hot

Food Fotos!

Trattoria Anita - yum

Favorite Cafe

Gourmet Italian Breakfast (Bologna Train Station)

Irish Milagro in the Apt.

Lorenzo the Magnificent (Medici) - outside Accademia

Accademia is lousy with statues

Including this Guy

Bufalini! (I don't know, either.) 

More tourists, waiting for a bus

Last, but not least:

Gratuitous Italian Doggie
