Rainy day

I think you all jinxed us by talking about the beautiful weather in our pictures from yesterday... it rained all day today! :) We planned on taking the tour I mentioned yesterday, but...

thanks to our new Russian friend, Uhlig or Olig (its a little fuzzy)...
and complimentary Chianti from the waiter....

...departure time seemed just a little too early this morning. : / We'll probably regret not going, but hey, now we have something to look forward to for next time, right??

So we got a bit of a late start today, but our first stop was Santa Croce. More famous dead people! Very pretty church with lots of history... it was built in 1245!

Here is Michelangelo's tomb:

So Rori, I'm confused about the David. The real one is in the Galleria dell'Accademia, is that right? Is there a copy in one of the piazzas or something? I feel like I've read conflicting info?? Who knows! Tomorrow morning we're going to get up early and climb to the top of the Duomo and maybe we'll squeeze in a viewing of David if we can figure out where the real one is.

Well, almost time for happy hour and hopefully another great Italian meal... and we still need our gelato fix for the day too! I started out with coffee and chocolate and Jimmy had 2 random flavors, but of course they were still delicious. Last night we had vanilla and chocolate at dinner... we didn't get to pick those flavors (we're not that boring), but again, delicious!

Hope all is well at home. I'm sure you're all looking forward to the short week with Thanksgiving. :) Talk soon!
