Someone reproduced a bunch of DaVinci's designs.	Rather cool, but it would have been cooler to see them working.	Caption for previous piece
		Gotta love the bike, though the next caption points out it probably wasn't DaVinci's design.
		Florence at night.
	I liked Florence a lot.	Ah, more bicyclists in Florence
Dedicated bike lanes, always cool	Heading back toward the Uffizi. I got lost until I found the river which got me back to my pensione.
Science museum where you couldn't take pictures, but I spent a lot of time. Galileo's finger is in there.	Looking out at Florence from it's highest point.
I'm not happy. I think I just got ripped off because the guy who I bought something from gave me change for 5 euros when I was sure I gave him 10. Oh, well, at least it wasn't too much.
My room in Pensione Canada. 36 euros a night was a deal.	The place was small, spotless on located maybe a block from the Duomo.	This was a gypsy band playing in Florence.
They drew a decent crowd (it got bigger) and I bought their cd.	More public art, she blew a kiss for money.	Ah, here I am in Milan. Note the sign that has two trains from Malpensa, of which John is supposed to be on one of them. Do you think he was?
The public art outside the train station where I'm now supposed to meet John because he missed his flight.	Me demonstrating how I took most of the pictures on this trip.	Ok, this is La Scala, the point of my trip to Milan. I am unhappy that I can't see an opera there.
