Today:
Central Market in the morning. We bought loquats (I don't know if that's how you spell it, but that's what they are - they were called nespole or something in Italian) and teensy tiny peaches, and a shrinkwrapped hunk of parmesan.
Cappucino and a chocolate croissant for breakfast, gnochetti for lunch. Then we walked down to the Palazzo Pitti and the Boboli Gardens. Everything here is beautiful, it's enough to physically hurt you, but in the good way. We also saw the mythology and erotica exhibit in one of the museums in the Pitti, along with their normal collection of Medici treasures.
Dinner was our first real Italian pizza and tiramisu. Amazing.
We walked home and took pictures of the closed up shops on the Ponte Vecchio and the empty outdoor markets. The sanitation crews were out cleaning up the day's trash and washing the streets.
