June 3 Sunday Tour of Florence

Holly gave us a quick get-acquainted tour of the city from the Piazza del Duomo down to the Piazza della Repubblica (we saw where the ghetto had been) through the Piazza della Signoria (who is that Medici on horseback?), across the Ponte Vecchio, and up to the Piazzale Michelangelo with its copy of the David and fantastic view of the city. Important details on where to shop, how to protect your pocketbook, and where there were good sandwiches and gelati.
L-R back row: Joseph, Ross, Randall, me, Adam, Nick; front row: Hayley, Ilana, Rachel, Anna, Lauren, Samantha, and Michael. All survived, though flipflops don't hold up all that well. Tomorrow, the synagogue.
