We interrupt our tour of churches and museums to present some more pedestrian scenes of the great city. The museums and churches will continue after a another post or so.
 |
Our sosta, secluded, perhaps a half hour walk to the historic
center, ten minutes by bus |
 |
| Thus |
 |
Gorgeous food store next to the Market; adjoining it was a
nice traditional resto where we had a lunch |
 |
| My bread salad |
 |
| Vicki's lasagna |
 |
Dessert; not pictured: my roast pork medallions, which we will
attempt to replicate for Turkey Day |
 |
| The big city market |
 |
| Trash removal in the big city |
 |
| In English too |
 |
| At the Florence Rubber Duckie store |
 |
At our favorite restaurant one evening, the Antico Ristoro di
Cambi, about to devour 1.1k of bifstecca fiorentino |
 |
Maybe I over-salted it a bit; it looks rare, I know, but they age
it for 18 days before cooking |
 |
| Another evening, Vicki at a cooking class |
 |
A beautiful della Robbia fountain near the
market |
 |
Peeking into Brunellechi's Spiritu Sanctu church, 15th, rive
gauche |
 |
Note that the roof-top figures on the left are surmounted by
pigeons and that those on the right are not; why? is it a sign of
favor? |
 |
| Tourists ever coming and going |
 |
Alas, not a rubbish bin that conveys a city's
self-regard |
