Italy Part 5: Florence - Around Town
Here are various photos I took in Florence.
This photo was taken from our apartment window. This man sat in that chair every day, looking out over the river - he had a great view of Ponte Vecchio. All day he would paint the view and sell the paintings to passersby.
Zoomed-in view I bought two paintings from him.
Another artist!
Tiny cars! I would love to have one of these for driving to work and back.
Cheese and olives at that central market
A whole shop just for pasta!
Mailboxes in a quiet neighborhood on the other side of the river
The view of the east end of the city from the other side of the river.
That's not a car, it's a go-cart with a lid. I've never seen Gus so small. If you put him in a glass of water will he grow again? I love all the golden color in that pasta shop photo!! In the photo of the second artist, is that sand or paint? I sure hope it's paint. Great photos, Honey!

The sidewalk artist was using chalk! So two days later, after it'd rained a bit, the art was gone.
