We visited a number of museums today. This is an Etruscan tomb. |
|
This is a well-preserved Egyptian chariot. Try to picture Yul Brenner running down the Israelites in this contraption. |
|
Here is a small statue of a woman making bread. |
|
These are the famous "Heaven's Gate" door that is on the baptistry in Florence. Actually, it's a replica, since the original has been moved to the museum. |
|
This is the front of the Florence Cathedral. As you can see, the marble exterior is an incredible example of carvings and subtle colors. |
|
Here is the main means of transportation in Florence - the motor scooter. The streets are full of these things, buzzing around walking traffic. |
