Florence

Italian law makes it very difficult to get a driver's license - and, if you fail your driver's test three times, you must undergo a mandatory psych eval! However, ANYONE can ( and, it would appear, does - even or especially those who flunk the psych eval!) drive a motorcycle, and they are everywhere!




We spent the morning at the Uffizi Gallery (pictures strictly forbidden) but here is a nice shot of the Arno from the top floor....




And, enroute, to the museum, this church of Charlemagne (the guide said "conse rated by..." but somehow I don't think a political leader could consecrate a church even in those days!)



And here is Trey, with his second gelato off the morning - this one in exchange for a promise to take a shower before we leave for Venice!
