Italy - Florence

We spent two nights in Florence (actually it was a little outside Florence). Of course we shopped.... the tourist spots were crowded, but we were able to go to the Pitti Palace (the Merichi's home) where it was a little quieter as it was off the beaten path.  We also spent some time strolling around.

The worlds oldest functioning clock with it's original mechanisms.  It is set each day based on the sun set.
