A leisurely Sunday morning was followed by an afternoon visit to the Accademia to see Micheleangelo's masterpiece - The David. Regretfully, photos were not allowed but he was truly magnificient for a 500-year old fellow! (I added a photo from the internet). Afterwards we ambled around the center of Florence and were surprised to encounter a religious parade of priests and followers carrying an icon through the streets and burning incense with chanting and a small band of musical instruments. It was very interesting, but we did not understand the significance - just part of our sensory experience in Italy! We were also happily surprised to find a nice wine tasting event going on in Piazza Republica - buy a wine glass for 5 eruos and you could taste the various Chianti wines from growers in that region. Just being out and about in Florence is a wonderful experience any day of the week! More later . . . Ciao!
