Fair Italy! Thou art the garden of the world, the home Of all Art yields, and Nature can decree; Even in thy desert, what is like to thee?

Fall Foliage in Florence




This weekend we stayed in Florence! Our first weekend at home. We got to see the David at the Galleria dell'Academia, and amazingly there was no line. Such good luck. In addition, Doug's law school pass (and my partner pass) got us in for free. The David is incredible in person - huge and fascinating. We plan to go again before we leave.

We also did a 13km (8 mile) hike through the hills of Florence with some friends from the European University Institute. The weather was drizzly, but the leaves were beautiful and the vine yards delightful. We saw several families out harvesting the last of the olives, and quite a few duck hunters in full gear.
