Florence was soggy today, but we kept going! Our walkabout started with a look inside the Duomo (cathedral). Duomo is the Italian name for the most important church in a city and this one certainly is! It was completed in the middle of the 1400's and still draws thousands of pilgrims (aka tourists!) every day. We passed through Dante's neighborhood on our way to Santa Croce (Sacred Cross) church. Then it was on to the leather school inside the old church monastery. The rainy afternoon was free for individual pursuits in the shops, museums or whatever. More later - Ciao!
