Saturday in Florence - April 19,2008

You can tell the weekend has arrived in Florence. The traffic increases tremendously. The sidewalks are incredibly busy, more tour buses run, and the taxi cabs are are racing between pick up and drop off sites.

We went to the Bargello Museum early this morning. It pays to get up early and get to those places by 8:30 in the morning. No crowd and no one pushing you around. There were only about 12 - 15 people there, including us, this morning. Many Michaelangelo and Dante sculptures. Fantastic! We totally loved it.

From there, we walked to Rivorari for the best coffee in Florence. Delicious Cafe Latte at the stand up bar is only 1.70 Euros. If you sit down, the same cup of coffee is 6 Euros. Pays to stand sometimes. LOL

Mom is resting this afternoon so Carol and I are walking the city. We love to do that here. Very safe and we are finally getting the hang of finding our way around.

More soon,

Love, Kathy
