Last night, we went down to the Ponte Vecchio to listen to a street musician. He played some of the classics but with a Tuscan flair. It was a perfect night and we had great seats right on the middle of the bridge. Centered over the water, there was just a sliver of the moon that reflected off the Arno with a slight wind keeping us cool. All in all, the perfect setting....the most memorable moment I will take with me.
This morning, I did my typical breakfast routine (toast and coffee followed by a run to the bathroom) and then headed down to Jen's school to meet the group and head to the Florence Sculpture Museum. Donatello's David would be the highlight today, but unfortunately that was on loan in Milan so we didn't get to see it. The museum was full of old jewelry, scultpures and coins. It was pretty cool, but I have to admit, I am getting "museumed-out". There is just so much history here I think my brain has quit taking it all in! This afternoon we are heading to a store that specializes in body oils and perfumes...not sure about that but I will go to check it out. Other than that, just keeping it low key today and will start packing up tonight as we leave Friday afternoon. Tomorrow night we have our farewell dinner followed by karaoke so it will probably be a late night. I think I am starting to get ready to come home and see my puppy!! I sure miss her!
Tomorrow I plan to "reflect back" on these last few weeks and share some of the things that stood out the most to me, what I learned and my overall thoughts! Tomorrow will be my last post so thanks for all who continued to read!
P.S. I posted new photos, enjoy! I won't be posting Venice photos as they are on the other photo card back in the safe. I will share those with you when we get home.
Today's lesson learned: guard your french fries at all costs. A woman stole my french fries right off my tray at McDonald's today. You may be thinking...why was Amy at McDonald's when she is in Italy...the answer: I can't take one more ham and cheese penne for lunch!!!
Until tomorrow my friends....ciao!

LOL... McDonalds. And she stole your fries. That is crazy. I can't get over your adorable hat. You must wear it all the time back in the states. We're holding down the fort, being bold. See you soon.
