Firenze

Spent a day in Firenze. Took ten bajillion photos. Some completely random shots from the day. We went to the archeological museum which was set up a little oddly but once we found the exhibited things it was pretty cool (hence small statues and dead people photos). The Santa Maria di Fiore (aka Florence's duomo) is the biggest church I have ever seen in my life (haven't been to St. Peters yet, I know). But seriously it goes on forEVER. You think the building will end at some point, but it doesn't really. The locks by the bridge were kind of cool, you write your name or lovers name or something on it and some other superstitious thing; any way it made for a pretty cool shot.

So many more things to post.

Pretty cool locks shot. I'd leave a lock there with something written on it to be part of the art, it'd feel good.

<3 ankle wings and superb door

It's fun that the warning signs about watching out for pedestrians 'walking' across the road show them as running. Is that what we really one has to do in Italy to not become a road kill?

Hahaha. Even exit signs for buildings have a person running out of a door. I'll show you the photos when I get back.
