What a beautiful city! The Duomo, the famous David statue, Piazza Michealangelo... things in Florence are much more relaxed than fast-paced Rome. That is, except for the leather markets. You have to watch out for those salesmen! Once they get you into their "tent", they may not let you out until you drop some cash on some Italian leather. We went to a wonderful concert in the Anglican church, where 2 sopranos and a pianist performed beautifully. We took an excursion on some bicycles out toward Sienna from Florence. We were both up for the 4 hour ride... that is, until John's chain snapped into 2 half-way into the ride. With much laughter and thankfulness to not be too far from one of the few-but-far-between bus stops in the Tuscan countryside, we only had about a 20 minute wait to hop on a bus back to Florence. It was definitely a blessing in disguise b/c I had my first experience with contractions that morning (too much exertion on the bike, i think)... and we decided that we should wait to have this baby until we returned to Austin!
