Firenze -- Settling In...

It's been a terrific first few days here in Florence. Pallavi hooked us up with a phenomenal apartment, in the heart of the Santa Croce area, which is one of the livelier areas of the city. Above is a picture of Pallavi in front of our apartment entrance.

Since we're here for a month, we've been pacing ourselves in terms of sightseeing. Above are a few of the sights we've taken in so far (to be honest, the city is small enough that it's hard NOT to see a bunch of sights just in the course of walking around aimlessly) -- church of Santa Croce (one block from our apartment), view of the Ponte Vecchio area at night, Pallavi on the Ponte Vecchio bridge in the evening, and Mr. David himself.....this picture is the result of us being told that no photos are allowed and me trying to cover David's private parts with a Terrible Towel.
