Inside the Duomo in Florence. Not a very impressive picture, but there is a 24 hour clock! And you can probably imagine it was pretty inside.
To make up for the last picture being a little less than spectacular, feast your eyes on this one! Blackberry and Mango gellato, TOGETHER!
A view of Florence from the other side of the bridge.
From here we walked to the right a little, up a big hill, where we had intentions to find a church with singing Monks. After sitting in one church for awhile, we realized that what we thought were monks warming up in another room was probably a CD being played. So we moved on to another church, and found the singing Monks. Amazing.

The real statue of David used to be here, but now in his place is a bronze replica. And Oh what a replica it is!
Liza guarding our little equipaje (our luggage). Could this road really be the right way to get to our hostel? After about 30 yards it got even more weedy, windy, narrow, and uphill. We gave up the goose chase for the hostel and settled on a hotel by the sea, where we could hear the waves lapping up on the shore all night!
Cat bums. There was a sign that said something to the effects of ¨please feed us! No one loves us!¨But don´t worry. They looked pretty fat and happy. One of the cats even had a cat sized tend, which you can see in the background.
After scarfing pizza and our second gellato of the day, we leave Vernazza, and we´re on to Corniglia.
Taking a path through an olive grove. These trees have nets underneath to catch the olives when the ripen and fall off the treed.
Railroad tracks runnig through the towns, much of the tracks laid in underground tunnels.

The Duomo in Milan. I couldn't take pictures inside, but there were mummified Popes (yes, plural) in glass tombs.
The other incredible part about the Duomo was the stained glass that told the most incredible visual stories.
