After the museo; Shane, Melissa, Jenni, Johan and I had lunch at Amor di Vino. We then walked through the Market some more (I bought a Rolex!!) until it was time to meet the group and go into the cathedral. We spent a good portion of time in the cathedral 'ooohing' and 'aaahhing' the incredible art. At 17:00 we had an informal lecture from Mark and Jim outside the baptistry. There was a family nearby taking photos with a baby who had to have just been baptized – clearly destined for sainthood. Later on while exploring Firenze with a small group we stumbled upon a flash mob! Not the best organized flash mob ever but a flash mob nonetheless.

Today we packed all of our belongings to travel to Firenze via taxi then train. While waiting for our train in Termini Station, we tagged a ad pillar with our names, and Mark and Jim put their portraits up. After settling into the Hotel Maxim a group of us wandered around the streets of Firenze – mostly staying in the huge market that was pretty close to the hotel.
