February 2008- Pisa, Florence, & Switzerland- Part II

Here's part two of our last year's February trip to Italy. All of these pictures are from Florence. We spent one jam packed day there. It was quite nice, but I think the weather hampered our enjoyment just a bit. It was really cold and drizzling off and on. Even so, we made a point to try the famed gelato. Twice.
I'm going to try and finish up this trip's batch of photos in the next few days because I have a whole set from last year's March trip to Normandy I need to get up as well!

This was me after I realized that the Italians CHARGE you to ENTER many of the CHURCHES. I was NOT pleased. I'm philosophically opposed to the idea of having to pay to enter a house of worship, and so I missed out on seeing some of the things I wanted to check out.

I remember having this panel appear on an art history final exam...

Rubbing the boar's snout is supposed to bring good fortune. You'll notice how worn it is. Chokydar wanted to do the tourist thing:
