The Ponte Vecchio (The Old Bridge)
This is one of the bridges across the Arno river that was not bombed out during WWII




We took a seven hour train trip to Firenze Italy for a mini two day get away. I wanted to see more art - we went to the Uffizi and were amazed. Here are a few photos of how I saw Firenze - I am not going to try to include statues or historical churches - you can look at that on line - this is my personal perspective.

okay, here is the deal. I took one photo of my feet and thought - hummm - this is odd but cool - and from there I have started to take photos of my feet all over the world - ummmm ... when I remember - so some of these shots you won't really know where my feet are unless I caption the photo - while others (my feet at the tower of Pisa) are untra recognizable. At times it was not possible to get a foot photo - so i took photos of my hands - which I think are interesting too. so here are my size 10 feet and my hands in places I will always remember.
