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.


Gus in front of the doors to the Pitti Palace


The old city wall

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.
