Florence, Day 2
Finally went to the Archaeological Museum (free! with tessera). Mainly went for this guy gal, actually (the Chimera of Arezzo):
Nice inscription on the arm:
Larth says hello (from a sarcophagus - it's actually the patronymic Larthal, read retrograde after the colon):
The Amazon sarcophagus:
The François Vase:
Watching the world go by:
From the other side:
Captain Jack Sparrow braved the pigeons and made off with some chow:
This little guy had fun doing an impression of the statue (Hercules and the Nemean Lion, as far as I could tell):
Gelato from Gelateria La Carraia in front of the Ponte alla Carraia. Still the only gelateria I've found with three flavors of chocolate (not counting things like cioccolato al rhum, tartufo, lallero, nutella, etc.). From top to bottom (the best way to eat it, since the flavors get lighter as you go): fondente (dark chocolate), cioccolato (milk chocolate), and mousse cioccolato.
Might not have seen the real thing, but trust Florence to have a copy in an art store:
Speaking of art, get a load of this sidewalk chalk:
