Life in Florence

Today is my last day in Florence. It will be a day of walking the city and a lot of sketching. The  city was full of exciting experiences. There never seemed to be a dull moment in the city. Although it's just the end of the slow season, the city has been full of people. The streets are packed with street performers, tourists, and shops. I've heard more English being spoken, than I do in Yakima. It's been really bizarre.  


I can't tell you how many times we have had gypsies interrupt our discussions and presentations. In this photo, a couple of students were giving a presentation, and a gypsy cam up begging for money. She stood there in front of them for several minutes while they tried to ignore her and continue with the presentation.
