Gelato (I think I may have eaten my body weight in gelato this week!)



Santa Maria del Fiore - Il Duomo



And back to the Palazzo Vecchio....



So much to see but so hot and crowded!

  3. I love that the Sante Croce stands so tall above all the other buildings and is not dwarfed by some modern monstrosity. I have a thing about rooftops and those lovely terracotta tiles. So much wonderful architecture and beautiful painted interiors.

  4. I should have read your first sentence more carefully. I saw the first picture of the church and thought, "Oh that looks like the one in Florence. It must be a common way of building churches in Italy." Doh! It WAS the one I saw in Florence two years ago. I realised as more and more familiar pictures appeared. I went to a conference in Florence and our first night was in the Palazzo Vecchio - it was my first ever academic conference and I thought that for atmosphere and surroundings it was going to be hard to beat and so far it has been.

  8. Don't you both look so relaxed? Lovely to see.

    I always think that David's hands are far too large.
