Florence - the last hurrah












For our last day in Florence the ladies visited the galleries. Some went to the Uffizi and the others went to admire Michelangelo's statue of David. Each gallery has magnificent works of art by famous masters. The balance of the day was free time to explore the markets, enjoy the piazza's, shop in the fine stores, rub the nose of the bronze pig for good luck or visit the Duomo. A few ladies ventured across the Ponte Vecchio to check out the shops or to visit the Pitti Palace and Boboli Gardens. The Pitti was the grand home of the Medici family. Judging by the smiling faces a good day was had by all.
